How disappointing. I
loved The Rules of Magic, which I somehow read without realizing it was a
sequel. So, I was expecting to love the
original novel in the series, Practical Magic.
I had never seen the movie which I’d heard was good. Unfortunately, I really did not enjoy this
novel. In fact, it bored me so much that
I often set it down for days at a time, choosing to do other things instead of
reading. It put me to sleep on more than
one occasion. It did not grab me
until the very end. I thought the
characters were all described heartlessly and I wasn’t drawn to any of them. And
there was no plot until the last half of the novel. To me, it was just aimless descriptions of the
characters and their non-endearing oddities. Here's why this person cannot form
healthy relationships. And here's
another person who cannot handle people. And another one. Blah blah.
I’ve read several of Alice Hoffman’s novels and have enjoyed some and not enjoyed others. So, the
hit-or-miss streak continues.
