Millroy the Magician Audiobook

" This book is tricky surprising and so incredibly beautiful. It will give you much to ponder about humanity and the power of belief. I sincerely enjoyed it and could not put it down. "

" Diet is so very important! "

" I enjoy Theroux's nonfiction much more than his novels. This one wasn't bad though ... "

" This was a strange book with a very disturbing ending. The last couple of pages will stay with me forever. "

" This is the only Theroux book I couldn't finish. By three-quarters through, I still didn't know what the story was about, didn't understand the odd and two-dimensional characters, and didn't even bother to the end to find out what happened, because I didn't care. A rare miss. "

" ....someone read this book and explain.... "

" What a bizarre reading experience! For most of the middle of the novel, I felt like I couldn't possibly read one more line - I disliked it that much. But the last few pages blew me away. I would love to hear others' reactions. "

" I went into this book with an idea of what to expect and was thrown completely upside down repeatedly - this is a book that should not be missed, but it did leave me confused as to why it was written at all. A wacky story, wacky characters, but has a very warm and moving message contained within. "

" A chance encounter book. I really like this story - about a meglomaniacal savior-type, looking to save America through its diet. Fun read. "

" I love everything he writes but I can still picture the scenery and feel like I have known these characters my whole life. Paul Theroux really brings you in "

" couldn't abide it. "

" hmm. Usually like Theroux very much--- this one, I just couldn't get into and stopped half-way. It's slow and redundant, and no one character really grabbed me. "

" Can't finish it, too wierd and disturbing. "

" Interesting enough to explain why I keep reading him, but always feel a bit unfinished/incomplete with him too. "

" I WOULD read this book more than once if I could ever find a copy in the stores. It's amazing. A.Ma.Zing. "

" I'm a big fan of Theroux, but his fiction is often hit or miss. And this was a big miss. "

" I read this for a book club...blech! Just. Terrible. I couldn't bring myself to finish it. "

" The book is unfinished, possibly never to be finished, because I couldn't get into it. The opening chapters weren't very good and I didn't feel motivated to try to read more. "

" One of my all time favorites. I'd hesitate to recommend it to most people I know though. It's an odd, odd little book that for some reason really resonated with me. "
