Book Reviews of Practical Magic
Book Review: A wonderful book that will surely make a wonderful movie.
Summary: 5 Stars
Practical Magic was one of the warmest, funniest, most "real" books I have ever read. Imagine how happy I was when I recently read in Entertainment Weekly that is was going to soon be a major motion picture starring Dianne Wiest. Also of note, if you enjoy Alice Hoffman books, then read At Risk. It is a truly moving story, just as this book was.Book Review: I LOVED IT!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book said alot of how my life is or how I believe life really is. I look for books like this one all the time. I read constantly and I love to find books that include (what I believe) the extras that most people don't know exist.Book Review: The most enjoyable book I have ever had the pleasure to read
Summary: 5 Stars
Alice Hoffman is my favorite author and Practical Magic is her best book by far. For those of us who enjoyed fairytales as children, this book is a real treat. I am anxiously waiting to see what she will come up with next.Book Review: My girlfriend made me read it, and I have no regrets.
Summary: 5 Stars
A wonderful little ragdoll of a novel - brilliant, but undisciplined, and who cares? It follows something like thirty years in the lives of Gillian and Sally Owens, who are orphaned at the ages of three and four, respectively, and grow up with their aunts (who are neither named nor described until the last fifty pages, as if Ms. Hoffman simply forgot to until that point). Their aunts just happen to be the last in a long line of honest-to-goodness wise woman, herbalist, spell-casting New England witches.I put off reading this for a long time, because, strangely, I don't like to read the sort of fiction I myself write. I finally did because my girlfriend, all of whose friends must summarily read it, would've had my head if I didn't. Well, actually, she probably would've frowned, tapped her foot, and said, "grr," but you know what I mean. I liked it. It shoots off in weird directions, threads get lost and refound, or not, Antonia (one of Sally's daughters) is tragically neglected, and it's still one of very few books I read in less than two days.
Book Review: Practical Magic Put A Spell On Me!

This is the best book I have ever read! It is such a beautiful story, and it's touching, hilarious, heart warming, and everything else you could possibly imagine! I recomend it to everyone who has an open heart and an open mind. You will love it!
