Interpretation Toward Books The Books of Magic (The Books of Magic #0)
Tim Hunter is destined to become a great magician... isn't he? Four magical beings take him on realms other than his own, to educate and warn Tim about the path he is about to embark upon.It is up to Tim to choose his destiny. Great power comes at great cost and it may be more than he is willing to pay.
"Child, magic exists. There are powers, and forces, and realms beyond the fields you know."
The worlds Neil Gaiman has created in The Books of Magic are haunting and layered and will stick with you after you've finished the story and closed the book.
So... typical Gaiman then.
"The true Atlantis is inside you, just as it's inside all of us. The sunken land is lost beneath the dark sea, lost beneath the waves of wet, black stories and myths that break upon the shores of our minds."
Beyond the story, the artwork is beautiful in each volume, but different from artist to artist. Not in a jarring way, just noticeably different.
"It's like there's a whole other world, that I never knew existed, side by side with the old one."
Recommended for adults or mature teenagers. There are some scares and thrills on this fantasy journey through other worlds.

*Book source ~ LibraryFrom Goodreads:A quartet of fallen mystics dubbed the "TrenchCoat Brigade" is introduced in this first collection of the adventures of Timothy Hunter. John Constantine, the Phantom Stranger, Dr. Occult, and Mister E take Hunter on a tour of the magical realms. Along the way he's introduced to Vertigo's greatest practitioners of magic and must choose whether or not to join their ranks. The artwork is decent and the story is pretty good. Though Im not sure I understood partsLong before J.K. Rowling ever wrote about Harry Potter, there was another owl-toting, bespectacled young wizard with a destiny. And somehow it doesn't surprise me that Neil Gaiman was responsible for that wizard's creation in "The Books of Magic." This brilliant four-part graphic novel is full of shadowy art, strange happenings and wild magic -- and while it was intended to be a story highlighting the more magical DC characters, it ended up taking a life of its own. Timothy Hunter is playing
Hmmm....I'm not sure about this one. There were moments when I had no idea what he was talking about. There were some really cool sections that got me thinking. Sometimes the font changed to a style that was difficult to read. Oddly, G and S looked alike. I own this, so I may have to try this one again at another time.
I've always thought that this book's main strength was as a magical tour of the DC universe Neil Gaiman's take on Marv Wolfman's History of the DC Universe. And, it's rather magnificent in that regard, recording everything from Arion to the Legion.But, it's also a great building block of the Vertigo Universe. It creates the Trenchcoat Brigade, introduces Tim Hunter, reinvents Dr. Occult, and revamps Mr. E. The third issue, on Faerie, is the best in this regard and also generally my favorite

NOTE: This is best read AFTER you've read the Sandman series. A great tale from my favorite part of the DCU - the magic, generally undead world (the one I lump Sandman, Swamp Thing, Spectre, Deadman, Constantine, the Demon Etrigan, etc), with some great characters that don't get a lot of facetime in other books. The art is phenomenal, and I got that great magical feeling I got reading books 3 & 4 of Sandman (my 2 faves). So if you liked that series, and want a little more, check this out.
