John Fowles’ The Magus was a literary landmark of the 1960s. Nicholas Urfe goes to a Greek island to teach at a private school and becomes enmeshed in curious happenings at the home of a mysterious Greek recluse, Maurice Conchis. Are these events, involving attractive young English sisters, just psychological games, or an elaborate joke, or more? Reality shifts as the story unfolds.

The Magus reflected the issues of the 1960s perfectly, but even almost half a century after its first publication, it continues to create tension and concern, remaining the page-turner that it was when it was first released.

Don't be fooled by the sample piece. The narrator is the only good thing about this book and honestly, I am sad that he had to waste his talent on a terrible book like this. The protagonist is an unlikeable dipshit, who thinks the world of himself and holds offensive sexist and racist views about the rest of the world. This is a pointless story and a complete waste of time. There are many other great books out there on Audible, that our hard-earned credit is better spent on.

Overrated, sexist, misogynistic and boring
