In a secret world of forbidden knowledge, power comes at a terrible price....

Quentin Coldwater's life is changed forever by an apparently chance encounter: when he turns up for his entrance interview to Princeton, he finds his interviewer dead - but a strange envelope bearing Quentin's name leads him down a path very different from any he'd ever imagined.

The envelope, and the mysterious manuscript it contains, leads to a secret world of obsession and privilege, a world of freedom and power; and, for a while, it's a world that seems to answer all Quentin's desires. But the idyll cannot last - and when it's finally shattered, Quentin is drawn into something darker and far more dangerous than anything he could ever have expected....

Loved every second of it. Thanks for curing my grief from the TV series. Can't help but shiver at the narrator's pronounciation of words in W, like R'white haha

I love how this book does not hide from reality's imperfection. This book isn't trying to wow everyone, it just tells the story of reality managed to get in a fantasy world. I'm attached to that lesson.

A must read/listem. But don't listen to it while drinking. The book itself is already Narnia on Prozac, don't make it any more powerfull or it will swallow you hole.

Fantastic and depressing
