addimoon 's review for:

Practical Magic by Alice Hoffman
2.5
challenging dark tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Of course I knew the book wouldn’t be exactly like the film, but it was wildly different. The entire book felt like one ginormous run-on sentence and that constantly kept getting caught on different trains of thought. 
I also wasn’t expecting the book to be a violent as it was. Lots of talk about physical and sexual violence against women specifically. 
Honestly, save yourself the time and just watch the movie.
