I received this novel as a gift and it turned out to be a good one. The main character, Alexander Crowley, is the great grandson of the infamous occultist and supposed magician Aleister Crowley. Unlike Aleister, Alex has true magical powers. His most useful one is the ability to mesmerize people and get them to do what he wants them to do. Since Alex is an ethically-challenged scoundrel, he often uses this power to get people to give him money, including card game opponents, cab drivers andSet in a fictionalised St.Ives (the most south-westerly point of England), this is exactly as Barr describes it - a boys own adventure story for the twenty first century. With a twist. Part one being called Were All Going on a Summer Horrorday was enough for me to know this was going to be good! The central character, Alexander Crowley (related to the one and only Aleister Crowley, legendary occultist) is a Londoner and we hear the world as he speaks, Cockney Rhyming Slang and all, really

Alexander Crowley- A New King in Town by Don Barr could easily be one of the funniest books around. Our lead character Alex is a bit of a scallawag with real magical powers he has inherited from his great grandfather. In fact,he uses his powers so much,that he rips off cab drivers, putting them under a trance, then taking all their money. At least that is how the story begins, appropriately setting the stage for the fun that begins and continues throughout this rollicking novel. You will love
'A New King in Town' by Don Barr follows con artist Alexander Crowley, who is forced to go on the run after conning one person too many. The reason hi finds it so easy to take people for a ride, is that he has some magical abilities- he can put people under his spell and essentially take them for all that they have. Hiding out in Cornwall seemed like a good choice, but he soon finds himself back in peril, facing off against demons, mobsters, and a number of supernatural entities. An enjoyable
