Book Review of The Magician's Assistant

The Magician's Assistant
reviewed on


I enjoyed this book, but I didn't enjoy it as much as Ann Patchett's more recent works of Bel Canto and Run. I think that she does a marvelous job of mixing some pretty heavy topics with a style that doesn't make you feel drained with dealing with those topics. I enjoy the way she mixes people's differences and choices so that you can see what it's like to be a human living amongst other humans.
