The Magicians

The Magician by Lev Grossman 
Review by Grant 
Quentin Coldwater is a high school senior, but he’s still secretly obsessed with a series of fantasy novels he read when he was little, about the adventures of five children in a magical land called Fillory. Compared to that, everything in his real life just seems gray and colorless. That changes when Quentin finds himself admitted to a very secret, very exclusive college of magic in upstate New York, where he receives a thorough and rigorous education in the practice of modern sorcery.
But magic doesn’t bring Quentin the happiness and adventure and meaning he thought it would—until he and his friends make a stunning discovery: Fillory is real.
I discovered this book in my middle school library! At first it is an interesting story about magicians trying to fit in he real world, but there are concepts in this book that are nowhere near okay. This includes: profanity, crude jokes, sex references, homosexual sex, prostitution, and explicit descriptions. And I discovered it in MIDDLE SCHOOL LIBRARY! I only read halfway through, but this is a horrible book. Please don't read.
