What a terrific review! Jeann Wong is right, these two have a love-hate relationship - like Wiley Coyote and the Roadrunner!
"Seeking Dr Magic had a very comic book feel about it, where two arch enemies are pitted against each other. Like the relationship between Joker and Batman, these two need each other like fire and water.
The protagonist is Tony Hetfield, Ex-FBI and self-made private investigator who has a thirst for fame. He gets more than he bargains for when his media interview is interrupted by a strange occurrence; Phantom Ninjas who somersault off tall buildings without a scratch. Hetfield deduces that a man called Dr Magic is behind this work of magic, and he begins his trial of tracking down Dr Magic and finding out who he is. The two begin a quid pro quo as Dr Magic uses his magic to transport Hetfield from Chicago to New York at a blink of an eye, and then begins their strangely co-dependent relationship.
Throughout the book, Hetfield believes that Dr Magic is not an evil man, and he hides the identity of his nemesis from the FBI and US Government. Dr Magic is a 21 year old boy who just wants some recognition and fame for his amazing powers, which Hetfield relates to throughout the book. How Hetfield deduces who Dr Magic is and how he came to be is true of his PI caliber, as he learns how to side step Dr Magic’s threats and uses his investigative skills to get to the bottom of the mystery.
The way the media, FBI and general population responded to Hetfield, in his celebrity status as the man who named Dr Magic, reminded me of a comic book. These characters are blown out of the water by several traits, especially the villain and his thirst for power and Hetfield and his need for fame. While the whole world is in awe of Dr Magic and fears him, it’s Hetfield that breaks him out of his pattern and believes in him.
Overall, I enjoyed Seeking Dr Magic, it’s a story that pretty much shows you that anything is possible if you set your mind to it. It’s a story about believing in yourself and taking responsibility for your actions. I’d recommend this story to readers of all ages, with it’s mystery, suspense and action.
I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. Thank you so much for sending me this book!"
