Out of Spite, Out of Mind

Magic 2.0, Book 5

By: Scott Meyer

Narrated by: Luke Daniels

When you discover the world is a computer program, and you figure out that by altering the code you can time travel and perform acts that seem like magic, what can possibly go wrong?

Pretty much everything.

Just ask Brit, who has jumped around in time with such abandon that she has to coexist with multiple versions of herself. Now, Brit the Elder finds that her memories don't match Brit the Younger's. And there's the small matter of a glitch that's making Brit the Elder's body fritz out. Brit the Elder's ex-boyfriend Phillip wants to help her, but he'll have to keep it secret from his current girlfriend, Brit the Younger, who can't stand her future self.

Meanwhile, Martin is trying to protect Phillip from a relentless attacker he somehow hasn't noticed; Gwen is angry because Martin accidentally proposed to her; Gary tries to help the less fortunate, with predictably disastrous results; and an old nemesis might have to be the one to save them all.

In Out of Spite, Out of Mind, our fearless wizards discover the biggest glitch in their world's program may well be themselves.

kinda of disappointing

it took my least favorite character and put her front and center and amplified her arrogance and the rest of the cast follows suit be being a bunch of jerks.

A disappointment after four winners

I enjoyed the first book in the series because of the clever explanation for magic and the humorus nerd culture references. The narration was amazing and it stayed within a PG rating.

After that there weren't as many big new ideas but I greatly enjoyed the books 2 and 3. Book 4 was also good but I really didn't care for this one. Long sections of book 5 were just bizarre and not interesting. I kept expecting it to turn around right up until the terrible ending.

An acceptable story ( spoilers abound)

Another fun romp through the carefree and fun world of magic and mischief!


Spoilers Start Here





As far as this story goes I enjoyed almost all the plot lines with the exception of Brit and Phillip. "Mad" Brit purposely and deliberately ruined the relationship between her younger self and Phillip utilizing a llie based on nothing but her anger over his incorrect beliefs.

much weaker than all the other books

I think I am going to act like this book did not happen. It had very little plot and was not thought out.

nothing interesting

I didn't feel like any of the characters had any personal growth. this whole book seems kind of frivolous.
