Book Reviews of Magus
Book Review: the last lines of the book
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this book, for it is, as someone else said, a challenging book. The answers aren't clearly written and the characters actually have mystery and depth that makes them real.For those curious, the last two lines (in latin) are from one of the earliest poems ever discovered, by an unknown author.
The lines translated pretty literally mean, "Tomorrow let him love, who has not loved / and he who has loved, tomorrow let him love."
Great book, and for those who don't know, the insipration for the 1997 film, "The Game", starring michael douglas, was originally inspired by this novel.
