Critical Praise
"Fast and frightening.... An emotional maelstrom of high intrigue."
— Newsweek
"Great, good, lavish, eerie fun.... The Magus is a stunner.... It is at once a pyrotechnical extravaganza, a wild, hilarious charade, a dynamo of suspense and horror, a profoundly serious probing into the nature of moral consciousness, a dizzying, electrifying chase through the labyrinth of the soul..... Read it in one sitting if possible — but read it."
— Eliot Fremont-Smith, New York Times
"Mr. Fowles's narrative gift is genuine, his manipulation of suspense is of a high order."
— Brian Moore, Washington Post
