Practical Magic

I read this book because I adore the movie. Now, usually, I tell people to read the book before watching the movie because the movie never delivers quite the same impact.

I'd say the same thing with this book, except that it's not just the impact, this book felt like an entirely different story from the movie! I was so accustomed to the pacing of the movie, the theme and what was important, that I often found myself bewildered and wondering what the point was with a particular passage.

I didn't dislike this book, I was just surprised by how different it was from the movie. It wasn't the sort of explicit magic the movie portrays. It's a quiet read, for sure.
