![]() ![]() ![]() You get the usual beats - a lonely man who is firmly entrenched in his own habits, denying the plain truth that he is miserable, being literally transported to a different place that shakes him out of his rut, makes him do things he normally otherwise wouldn’t do, and completely changes his life for the better.īefore long, Arthur Parnassus, the head of the orphanage, and Linus clearly develop feelings for each other. If you’ve read any other review of this book, you’ll probably have seen it described as “Pixar-esque” and yeah, that’s pretty spot on. It’s a secluded place, filled with very dangerous magical children, including the son of Satan. He gets a special assignment from the hilariously named Extremely Upper Management to go visit a strange orphanage far from home. I mean, just look at the cover.īrief summary / book review: Linus Baker is a middle-aged, overweight case worker who inspects orphanages filled with magical children, for the Department in Charge of Magical Youth (known as DICOMY). Are there LGBT characters? It’d be a lot shorter to talk about what isn’t gay in this book. ![]()
