Thomas Rigby reviewed Book of Doors by Gareth Brown
Brown's debut novel is an accomplishment
5 stars
Opening this book in a cosy, shabby-chic bookshop is a sneaky lawyer's trick designed to make me care and I'm annoyed it worked.
I can't stay mad for long though because I am in love with this world! A world where there are magic books — not spell books but the books themselves are the spells. Use the Book of Pain to impart excruciating agony, the Book of Illusion can conjure a facsimile of your every heart's desire, and the Book of Doors will take you anywhere in the world.
