Rating:  Summary: The Magicians Tale Review: This book was one of the best I have read. I hardly ever pick up a book to read, but this one caught my interest. I never have finished a whole book before this one! I loved it!
Rating:  Summary: Interesting, entertaining and different! Review: This is a fast read that keeps you going on and on to see what's next. I found it interesting for how it attacked a murder mystery from a different angle. It certainly was entertaining and different in taking the reader to the underworld sex scene in San Francisco, without being judgemental! I found the book's characters well described and believable, regardless of what other reviewers say, and I thought at times that this book had been written by a woman by the way the intimacy and feelings were described for Kay when she was with her Sasha. All in all, an enjoyable and different book - I like David Hunt's writing style and yes, the font's and quality of this book are great!
Rating:  Summary: Almost has it all. Review: This is another book review by Wolfie and Kansas, the boonie dogs from Toto, Guam. While "The Magician's Tale" by David Hunt does not have any canine angles, there were a couple aspects of the book that drew it to our attention. First, the lead character, photographer Kay Farrow, is color-blind but has strong night vision. In other words, she literally sees the world almost like we do. Second, as accomplished escape artists (collars, fenced yards, etc.), we have an interest in magic. Hunt makes excellent use of stage and street magic in this book."The Magician's Tale" has serial murders, kinky sex, conspiracies, numerous fascinating characters, San Francisco, Anne-Ricean sensuality, martial arts--everything but a dog. Despite all these elements, the book is generally so well-written and well-paced that it only rarely strains the reader's capacity for willing suspension of disbelief. For once the blurbs on a book jacket--"atmospheric, kinky and brooding", "street-smart", "very intense", "seductively written", "compellingly suspenseful"--are true
