LOVED IT!!

Revisado: 11-16-23

I loved it. I even listened to the author’s note at the end. I loved the symbolism, and the historical legend/folklore that was woven throughout the story. I LOVED the psychological aspects And the underlying theme of breaking generational curses. It had a kind of a surprise ending with a somewhat apocalyptical feel, but yet still hit the realm of believable as well as symbolic.

I love Nicholas Sparks but.

Revisado: 11-11-20

Nicholas Sparks is one of my favorite authors but this story seemed underdeveloped. I never bought into the relationship between Trevor and Natalie. The subplot with Callie dragged and then was rushed. The character interactions overall were forced. Normally I find myself drawn to their mysterious pasts or intrigued by their secrets but this one was just meh.

Doesn’t live up to the reputation

Revisado: 10-16-20

I read “The Rules of Magic” before this book and they don’t even seem like they were written by the same author. The voices are so different. I cared about the characters in “The Rules of Magic” but it seemed like the story dragged on forever in “Practical Magic.” I never felt like I developed a relationship with these characters and I bounced back and forth in their stories like a tennis ball. I’m not quite finished and, honestly, I wouldn’t keep going if I wasn’t close to the end. The readers are vastly different, too. The reader of “Practical Magic” gets on my last nerve. She reads like a kindergarten teacher and her voices are annoying. I don’t know what the hype was all about for all these years. Skip it or you’ll wish you had.

Pretty good story

Revisado: 02-14-19

This book was pretty interesting - the characters were engaging and I wanted to know more about them. I liked the setting - this was the primary reason I downloaded this book. I will try to read another. The only negative part was I couldn't listen to it with my son in the car, which is something we like to do together, because of the overuse of the "f-word."

Eh

Revisado: 02-14-19

These stories read more like paragraphs. Nothing really interesting about them. I guess it puts you to sleep all right.

Unresolved ending

Revisado: 02-14-19

This story began as a very fascinating story - I loved how the past kept cropping up. I was disappointed that the story from 1984 was never resolved. What really, was the point of including it? Did I miss something in the last droning hours while Rob went on and on? I began to dislike him, and mistrust him, somewhere along the second half of the book. His jerkiness was never redeemed, his mystery never solved, the truly guilty never really made to pay...so many questions left unanswered.
