Book Review: Witches of Eastwick

I'm so sorry I haven't been reviewing my books! I've just been reading them! But now that exams are over I have a moment to breathe, and to blog.

I read Witches of Eastwick while on holidays in Europe. I really enjoyed it!
My score: 4.5/5

My favourite thing about this book was that it was about witches, but in a modern time. I was real and relatable, despite the supernatural themes. My favourite bits were the acts of shocking violence and death: when they made the voodoo doll spell of the other woman, and she got cancer and died, and when the man killed his wife (the awful woman that she was) and the killed himself. Also, the horrendously large amount of sex was written in such a way that it wasn't distasteful.

I would definately recommend this one to anyone! Best book club book chosen so far, I think. Thanks Kelsey!

(PS the movie is bullshit and crap.)

Christmas Books!

SO my amazing friends Kelly and Michelle bought me two penguin books for Christmas - The Witches of Eastwick and Tales of the Unexpected. They are so great! ^_^

I have a 30 hour flight tonight, so I'm taking Fabric of the Cosmos, Lolita and my DS with Pokemon Pearl. Should be enough entertainment! Hopefully I'll finish them both and be able to review them when I get home in late Janurary! On that note, I wont be here for a while, so Merry Christmas and a Prosperus New year!
