― Kelly Link, Magic for Beginners

Moreover, the "Magic for Beginners" book emphasizes the importance of practice and offers tips and tricks for honing your skills.
Magic for Beginners
The nine stories in Link's second collection are the spitting image of those in her acclaimed debut, Stranger Things Happen : effervescent blends of quirky humor and pathos that transform stock themes of genre fiction into the stuff of delicate lyrical fantasy. In "Stone Animals," a house's haunting takes the unusual form of hordes of rabbits that camp out nightly on the front lawn. This proves just one of several benign but inexplicable phenomena that begin to pull apart the family newly moved into the house as surely as a more sinister supernatural influence might. The title story beautifully captures the unpredictable potential of teenage lives through its account of a group of adolescent schoolfriends whose experiences subtly parallel events in a surreal TV fantasy series. Zombies serve as the focus for a young man's anxieties about his future in "Some Zombie Contingency Plans" and offer suggestive counterpoint to the lives of two convenience store clerks who serve them in "The Hortlak." Not only does Link find fresh perspectives from which to explore familiar premises, she also forges ingenious connections between disparate images and narrative approaches to suggest a convincing alternate logic that shapes the worlds of her highly original fantasies.

1. John - 2/5 stars - I was really disappointed with "Magic for Beginners". I was expecting to learn some really cool magic tricks that I could impress my friends with, but instead, the book was filled with complicated explanations and boring history lessons about magic. The tricks themselves were not explained clearly, and I struggled to even understand the basic concepts. Overall, I found the book to be a waste of my time and money.
2. Sarah - 1/5 stars - "Magic for Beginners" was a complete letdown. The author claimed that even beginners could learn magic from this book, but that was far from the truth. The instructions were confusing and lacked detail, making it impossible for me to replicate any of the tricks. Additionally, the illustrations were vague and hard to decipher. I would not recommend this book to anyone looking to learn magic as a beginner. Save your money and find a better resource.
3. Michael - 2/5 stars - I had high hopes for "Magic for Beginners", but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The instructions for the tricks were unclear and poorly written, making it difficult for me to follow along. It felt like the author assumed a certain level of prior knowledge and skipped over important steps. Additionally, the book lacked a logical progression of difficulty, with some tricks being too advanced for a beginner. Overall, I was left feeling frustrated and unsatisfied with this book.
4. Emma - 3/5 stars - While "Magic for Beginners" had some interesting tricks, I found the overall organization of the book to be lacking. The different sections didn't flow well together, and it felt disjointed at times. Additionally, the explanations were sometimes convoluted, making it hard to understand the mechanics behind the tricks. However, I did appreciate the historical context provided throughout the book. Despite its flaws, there were a few tricks that were enjoyable to learn.
