Review #9: Practical Magic by Alice Hoffman

“It doesn't matter what people tell you. It doesn't matter what they might say. Sometimes you have to leave home. Sometimes, running away means you're headed in the exact right direction.”

As a child, I was mesmerized when I was introduced to the 1998 film 'Practical Magic', starring Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman. I was always enthralled by witches and magic, and nothing said it like potion brewing, cat owning, eccentric Owens women.
