4.0 out of 5 stars By Kalpit- Best In The World - See all my reviews This review is from: Seeking Dr. Magic (Paperback)
Every book has a driving force summoned to make it a memorable read. In regards to Seeking Dr.Magic, the driving force is the mysterious Magic that’s acquainted only with the young Protagonist referred to as Dr.Magic . Although we are never introduced as of how the protagonist acquires mysterious powers and ability to thrash the whole world into whirlpools of despair, the author Scott Spotson billows the story to an unscathed tale which remnants the readers by the final word of last page.
With many Detective novels, I can instinctively guess the suspense just before the midst of the book, which was unlike the case with this novel. I must highly appreciate, Scott kept coming up with highly intriguing and undefinable mysteries throughout the novel that kept me second guessing as I was wrong every time with my primary instincts.
With the introduction of Ninjas performing dangerous daredevil stunts on high rise New York Buildings and all the news media going crazy over these mysteriously disappearing creatures, the life of our main lead, Detective Hetfield was always in a state of jeopardy. The controller of these Ninjas, referred to as Dr.Magic is presented to be extremely powerful with his magic abilities who can produce dangerous Ninjas, Fire blazing Dragons, Challenge the storms and oceans and captor any person, just with a flick of his fingers.
The suspense remained intact throughout the novel. Why was Dr.Magic after Detective Hetfield? What he wanted of him? What was the dilemma behind his grotesque? What shall become of Hetfield with his tug of war with Dr.Magic on a side and the news media on the other? So many questions kept beckoning my mind and held me right on the edge of my seat as I went on discovering the thrilling adventures and painful background behind the protagonists childhood, whom the world deemed a threat.
Although I am not completely satisfied with how the book ended as I feel the story was wrapped up too quickly after building a grand plot and platform for what could have been a 5 starer. The end could have been definitely elongated to a smooth, content and memorable way rather than leaving it obscure. I assume Scott was on a dead line as to finish with this book? Well, maybe I over-said it.
Overall the entire read was a thrilling and whirlwind experience to me. Strong story and convincing characters with a great morale. Not sure if the magic was as convincing as much as the plot and story? I’m yet to decide on it. But it was highly entertaining and thrilling and went perfectly balanced with the story. Seeking Dr.Magic is a novel that would entertain any Young Adult reader loving Fantasy Genre with a right mix of Detective, Suspense and Magic. So pull down the brim of your hat, slip on some dark shades, get into some black detective overcoat and grab this book and be rest assured for a entertaining and refreshing weekend.
Thumbs UP!!!
