À propos de cet audio

Alice Hoffman's enchanting witch's brew of suspense, romance and magic - now a major motion picture from Warner Bros.

When the beautiful and precocious sisters Sally and Gillian Owens are orphaned at a young age, they are taken to a small Massachusetts town to be raised by their eccentric aunts, who happen to dwell in the darkest, eeriest house in town. As they become more aware of their aunts' mysterious and sometimes frightening powers - and as their own powers begin to surface - the sisters grow determined to escape their strange upbringing by blending into "normal" society.

But both find that they cannot elude their magic-filled past. And when trouble strikes - in the form of a menacing backyard ghost - the sisters must not only reunite three generations of Owens women but embrace their magic as a gift - and their key to a future of love and passion.

Funny, haunting, and shamelessly romantic, Practical Magic is bewitching entertainment - Alice Hoffman at her spectacular best.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Huffman's best since Illumination Night. ( Publishers Weekly)

Like many books Hollywood has touched, this book is no exception. I was such a fan of the movie, I wanted to read the book. Boy was I surprised. Key elements are there, but the tale is much more complex and takes place over a longer period of time. I'm not disappointed, it was great to listen to. Best not to compare it too closely to Hollywood's rendition, though or you'll be disappointed.

Not like the Movie - not a bad thing though

I definitely struggled to finish this book. Practical Magic seems to have been written with a completely different idea or inspiration from Maria's origin story.
Not worth the listen.

Disappointing

Once again, Alice Hoffman weaves a beautiful story with her words and beautiful character development. I love so many of her books but Practical Magic is one I will read/listen to over and over. it continues to delight and charm me.

A Wonderful Story

While the writing itself could use some editing, I very much enjoyed the story. I saw the movie so many years ago that I can’t really remember it well enough to compare it to the book. My biggest complaint is the narrator. She sounds like someone’s grandmother reading a bedtime story that she doesn’t really care about. I definitely hope book 2 is done better.

Good story

While I really have enjoyed the book I hate to admit for the first time I may have enjoyed the movie more. However that being said I am glad I listened to the book and I do recommend it.

Enjoyed it

Like many others, I saw the movie Practical Magic and loved it (it is still one of my fave nostalgia movie picks). The book and movie are vastly different - and I think that is perfectly fine. I had also read The DoveKeepers by Hoffman and really enjoyed her storytelling ability.

I decided to read the Practical Magic Series in chronological order from time versus when Hoffman wrote the books. The other books in the series had more depth in my mind but I realize that the framework was set by Practical Magic initially to dive deeper in the prequels (which she did beautifully). I felt this one fell short after reading Magic Lessons and The Rules of Magic.

I didn't like the narrator, she didn't keep me captivated like the narrators of the other books. The story was good, but I'm glad I read the other books or I may not have decided to read the entire series if I'd started with Practical Magic.

This is the weakest book in the series

makes me really question where the movie came from because this story is nothing like that. same characters but so much more info and so much different circumstances that it's shocking. loved the movie and also the book.

nothing like the movie but just as great

Practical Magic evokes feelings of sunshine on a rainy day. It is a simple story about the bonds of sisterhood and family with a hint of magic. I appreciated the detailed imagery the author provided and the perfectly flawed characters.

Feel-good, heartwarming with Strong Female Leads

The book is very different from the movie. They took out bits and pieces of the book to make the movie. But I very much enjoyed the experience of listening to this story regardless. I’m going to get the next one in the series now and I’ll be listening to them all I think. The author is great and the performance of the audio book was enjoyable.

Always wanted to read this as I loved the movie

I enjoyed this book & the story of two sisters whose lives have been affected by magic & mystery. This is a rare example where I enjoyed the movie more than the book! I must admit I saw the movie first though & that might have coloured my perception.

The writing is still good though as weaves the tale of very different sisters & their family along with a bit of a magical murder mystery. I did not enjoy the narration as much as I have in other books. Overall a diverting tale that kept me engaged throughout & a fun story.
