2 🌟 I read the original The Magicians before it was in paperback. I think about this graphic novel the same way i felt about that book: boring!!!!! Maybe I would like the TV show more? Alice is trying to get into the magical university, which she does. Then she gets to skip part of her first year. It just goes nowhere and does nothing for this reader.

Trashcanman Say what? Just watch Rambo and Rambo 2. Pfftttt the hell with that noise.ha! 5y
BillBlume The TV series, what I saw of the first season was much better than the book. 5y
LibrarianRyan @Trashcanman I wont lie, with a new Rambo coming out, I have been tempted to rewatch the entire series. I just haven't had a day where I was sick enough yet. 😁 5y

Trashcanman @LibrarianRyan if you want to get sick I can arrange that. 5y
LibrarianRyan @BillBlume I plan to try the TV show. I caught the first 20 minutes of episode one, and it starts off compleatly different from the book, and I just not really tried to watch it. And Lev is SOOOOOOOO nice. We chose his book for our very first One Summer One Book, and he made a little intro video for our website and everything. It sucks that I didn't like it. It was right up my alley. 5y
LibrarianRyan @Trashcanman hehehe 5y
TsundokuAleax If you like the books, the TV show has such a similar vibe. They are two different beasts but the writers know these characters and respect who they are on the page. I have not watched recently due to time and not sure about how they ended the last season. That being said, what I watched was a perfect interpretation of these characters and the story to the point that I did not mind all the changes. 5y
wanderinglynn @LibrarianRyan Oh, I‘m so glad I‘m not the only one. I so badly want to like this book because it‘s my genre & I love the premise. But I would read a few sentences or a paragraph & then put it down. I‘m now trying the audiobook. The narrator is good, but I think there‘s just too much detail & not enough movement, so I find myself phasing out. 🙁 5y
LibrarianRyan @wanderinglynn EXACTLY! If it wasn't something I had to read for work, I would never have finished it. UGHHHHHHHHHH 5y
