Book Reviews of Mysterious Stranger: A Book of Magic
Book Review: This book is amazing
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a mind-blower. Open it anywhere and start reading (which is how I read a lot, I'm pretty ADD) and you'll have a hard time putting it down. Each time I open the book, I end up sitting there with my jaw dropping open, and saying "Holy @#$%&*! Listen to this!", a lot. Blaine talks about magic in history, about the most astounding magicians and their lives, about the dedication it takes to do this. He talks about his own life, and his travels and some really bizarre stuff he's seen and done. After seeing footage of him on the street, I had come to the conclusion that he was from another planet. Evidently he's not really magic or non-human. One thing I'm getting out of this book is what an extraordinary amount of dedication and passion magicians have, and just how many thousands of hours it takes them to get this good. This book is really fascinating. Plus, who knew the guy could write so well, too?
