I definitely felt bad for Niall too! Up until the very last few pages, I was still convinced he'd somehow still "win the girl." :(

It really lost steam at the end, didn't it? Once she had the tattoo on her back, the rest of the book was like an endless drug trip...weird and not even interesting.

It really lacked any grounding in reality at that point, and ruined the whole thing for me. I mean, really...who could see an entire room of dead and mad people, realize that they were responsible, and leave feeling sane and ok with life? I know she had no emotions at the time, but later, don't you think she'd have to be in an institution after all of that?

And I was sad that she and Niall didn't find a way to be together. They set up this sweet romance and then it was just gone at the end.

Bah. It was ok, but there were a LOT of plot flaws.

I agree with this review completely. :)

I've only recently started reading her books, though I've loved the movie Practical Magic for years. She has the most amazing style, but this book just failed to capture my attention, and when I was halfway through, I had to admit it probably never would :(

I'm such a slacker. I've meant to reply to this (totally awesome) comment for a while, and kept forgetting ;)

I'm up for a faerie hunt if you are! Then again, you're talking to someone who drove 8 hours each way to attend www.faeriecon.com last year. ;)


(Where, incidentally, I met Holly Black!)

Dang...you had to ILL this too didn't you. Now I'm curious.

You'll really enjoy it I think...I found it to be a very satisfactory conclusion.

The beginning of the second book is very strange...a bit more strange than I'm used to, but it was also so very worth it. My favorite tale is from the first book (Satyr and Selkie) but my second favorite is from the second book.

Just be sure to be patient with it :) It definitely isn't a light read, but it's so very worth it.

Juliet Marillier also has an incredible book called _Wildwood Dancing_, if you haven't read it. It's the best fairy tale retelling I've read in a very long time.

Heh, I've actually started thinking about starting a website or a book :)

Isn't Matilda just deliciously fascinating??

I was quite disappointed myself as well :/

It's defitely a "feel good uplifting" book, but one that makes you see magic all around...my favorite kind :)

It's my favorite movie, so I definitely didn't mind the similarity :)

It's more reminiscent of the movie Practical Magic than the Hoffman book.
