I read Practical Magic when it first came out and really enjoyed it. Personally, I didn't like the movie version of Practical Magic. It started out fairly close to the book, but the end (for me) was extremely disappointing. Of course, it's hard to find a movie version that accurately depicts any book, which is why I prefer to read!(less)
