Customer Reviews
pleasant enough
We have three Authors, two of which I've never heard of and the very talented Ms Crusie. I got the book for the latter and although it was pleasant enough you never really got involved in the characters or their magic.
Its the story of three young witches, seeking anonmyity in middle america where they hope to master their powers make their fortunes and never have to deal in magic again. Their evil aunt has other ideas and sends the men of their dreams to tempt them to give her their powers in her quest for universal domination.
Silly but not in an altogether good way this book tries to be quirky and amusing but somehow falls flat. I did finished it (and it was not a terrible read) but as the other reviewer said, not "a keeper".
Dissapointing
I generally like Jennifer Crusie's books, but this was a sad disapointment, apart from the story which was frankly silly, the book is very disjointed and at times difficult to follow. I gave my copy away, I shan't want to read it again.
