Depression & Other Magic Tricks
You know that a book is good when you highlight/mark something in the acknowledgements of the author.
Depression & Other Magic Tricks by Sabrina Benaim is a collection of poems dealing with depression: thoughts, what she wishes others knew, conversations she had, the struggle and finally, the hope they have that they will be well someday.
While the poem “Explaining My Depression to My Mother” has become the poem associated with Benaim it was her poem “On Releasing Light” that I got the “feelz” from. Yes, I deliberately put the “z” there as Benaim does not just give you “feelings” she gives you something more. Okay, one of the poems that I got the shivers from.
I had post-it noted the heck out of the book up to this point. I wrote in my book (okay I penciled a few stars and underlined a few things). I had even talked about poems to a friend who had sent me links to Benaim performing her slam poetry on You-Tube. As I have access to the books, I could gift her a copy.
Yet this one poem made me journal my thoughts. This book has blown me away. I knew I loved it from the first poem. When I read this poem, I stopped for a bit as I could not go on after it. It took me awhile to read as I was trying to digest each nugget. This is one of those rare books you want to rush through but also take your time with.
Even if you have not suffered from depression, anxiety or other mental health issues this is a great book to read. If you have not had a family member or friend or other loved one suffering this is a great book to read. If you have or are dealing with mental issues please read. It showed me that I was not alone. There are others who have had and are having the same thoughts, feelings and issues that I have. Gift this book to others. Keep copies at home, work and your bag. You will thank me for it!

I really love how easy it was for me to read this one yet going through various shades of emotions with each passing page! I could really connect with the writer and I was able to understand what the lines meant to convey.
This book is just not only about mental health issues. It talks about how we are as a person, how different and alike we are from our parents, what being single feels like (out of context maybe but relatable sadly), loneliness, being in love and the usual things one loves!
Since then, she has served as a recurring foe for Spider-Man, often teaming up with other villains in his rogues' gallery. One of Cobweb's defining characteristics is her distinctive costume. She wears a black bodysuit with a cobweb design, complete with a black hood that covers her face. Her appearance is often described as mysterious and menacing. In addition to her appearances in Spider-Man comics, Cobweb has crossed paths with other Marvel characters as well. She has been seen in team-up stories with heroes such as Daredevil, Ghost Rider, and the Black Widow. Her powers and abilities make her a formidable opponent, and she has proven to be a challenge for even the most skilled heroes. While Cobweb may not be as well-known as other Marvel characters, she has still left an impact on the Marvel Universe. Her unique powers and intriguing backstory have made her a memorable addition to Spider-Man's gallery of villains. Whether she is working alone or as part of a team, Cobweb continues to be a thorn in the side of our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man..
Reviews for "The Cobweb Witch: Marvel's Fresh Take on Witchcraft and Sorcery"
1. John - 1 star
I found "Cobweb Witch Marvel" to be incredibly boring and confusing. The plot was all over the place, and it was hard to keep track of what was happening. The characters were one-dimensional and lacked depth, which made it difficult for me to connect with them. The writing style was also a letdown, as it felt disorganized and lacked coherence. Overall, I was quite disappointed with this book and would not recommend it to others.
2. Sarah - 2 stars
"Cobweb Witch Marvel" had an intriguing premise, but unfortunately, it fell flat for me. The pacing was incredibly slow, and it took forever for the story to really get going. The world-building was lacking, and I found it hard to immerse myself in the setting. The characters were also uninteresting and lacked development. The writing style was average at best, and it didn't make up for the weaknesses in the plot and characters. I was left feeling underwhelmed and wouldn't read anything else from this author.
3. Michael - 1 star
I had high hopes for "Cobweb Witch Marvel" but was ultimately disappointed. The story had potential, but it was executed poorly. The narrative was convoluted and difficult to follow, making it a frustrating reading experience. The characters felt like caricatures, and I couldn't empathize with any of them. Additionally, the dialogue was stilted and unrealistic. The book was filled with grammatical errors and typos, which further hindered my enjoyment. Overall, I regretted picking up this book and would steer clear of anything related to it in the future.
4. Emily - 2 stars
I struggled to finish "Cobweb Witch Marvel". The plot was overly complex and confusing, with too many subplots that never seemed to converge. The writing style was heavy-handed and lacked finesse, making it difficult for me to engage with the story. The characters were forgettable and lacked depth, and I found it hard to care about their fates. The pacing was also off, with slow parts dragging on for far too long. Sadly, this book didn't live up to my expectations and I wouldn't recommend it to others.
