   I have not read "The Magicians" Mr. Dalton, I am happy you have   
   enjoyed yourself within it. :)

   If you don't mind a comment.   
      
   Tales, tellings, manuscripts and other forms of commo which are   
   structured around the alchemical processes of soul-spirit   
   transfiguration and use alchemical symbolism extensively (HP, Old/New   
   T, Chymical Wedding, Greek Mythologies, et al) are pretty nasty   
   stuffs. ;>) Yet children read and are forced to read, study and commit   
   to heart, many of these works.   
      
   The Magicians by Lev Grossman not for children? Too violent?   
      
   Call me when you have seen Deathly Hallows Part 2. In 3D. Rated PG. ;)
