Practical Magic

…Well I will say that I like the movie better than the book, which has never happened since I picked up my first book and began to enjoy reading. The book down plays the magic. Of course Hollywood always puts more magic in it because that’s how they get people to go see the movie. I do prefer the movie. However the book itself is good, but I don’t think I will read any more from the author. To me she went from talking about one subject like the sisters were making Thanksgiving dinner and then all of a sudden one sister is getting married, she talks about the wedding and then goes back to the sisters making Thanksgiving dinner (unmarried). I didn’t like that at all. It confused me. The movie yes did add a LOT of elements. The magic was there, the aunts played more of a role than they did in the book, and the same with one of the last characters in the book. It’s a shame that my first book review is kinda negative. But it is what it is.
