Wow. This book was so divorced from the film. Completely different universes. 

If you have been avoiding this book thinking it was horror, like I did, stop. Right now. It's not even close to horror. The entire book is brilliantly benign. 

Seriously, they are nothing alike at all. If you like witches give this a try.
