Every chapter seems to have at least one or more twists-many contradicting previous ones, and most completely out of left field-that disorients you in a way that other book don't. Well, I kept reading, and the every trick kept adding up until by the end you truly have no idea what's actually happening. This had me excited, but when I opened it, I found that the twists in the game and the tricks Conchis is pulling were all too obvious and didn't provide the kind of slipstream of reality I was hoping for. The basic plot outline-as it's typically advertised-is that a man from England (Nicholas Urfe) goes to Greece and gets caught up in an increasingly elaborate game orchestrated by a mysterious and wealthy man (Conchis), and as he gets deeper into the game, the difference between game and reality becomes harder to define. I read The Magus about a year ago and fell in love with it after being skeptical for the first 100 pages or so. Instead, feel free to promote these in the Monday weekly thread.
