Product Description

Carole Matthews brings a touch of magic to her sparkling new novel...

When Emma’s boyfriend Leo turns up at her special birthday dinner unforgivably late and horribly drunk, embarrassing her in front of her family, she decides enough is enough. Why can’t someone just wave a magic wand over him and bring him back refurbished as a proper boyfriend and save her the trouble? But when Leo meets Isabel and starts changing before her very eyes, Emma realises she should be careful what she wishes for...

5.0 out of 5 stars Different but fantastic story, 5 April 2008

M. Crompton "nicky c" (U.K cheshire) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: It's a Kind of Magic (Paperback)

having read the other reviews Im a little shocked. I have read most of Carole Matthews books and have to say I thought this was brilliant. Personally speaking I think it's one of her best, It was a pleasant surprise to read about a fairy involved in a romantic novel with humour added. Well written for the adult, brings out the child in all of us.
Brilliant

4.0 out of 5 stars Was a fairy a good idea?, 8 Mar 2008

Damaskcat (UK) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE) (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

This review is from: It's a Kind of Magic (Paperback)

I really enjoyed The Chocolate Lover's Club, and The Chocolate Lover's Diet, but I wasn't so enamoured of this one. It was enjoyable but the introduction of magic did not quite fit somehow. If you like magic in your books Christina Jones hits the right note for me.
That said I finished it and found it entertaining. Leo and his friends were realistically drawn and believable. Oddly enough I was less convinced by Emma. She did learn from her own mistakes and change by the end of the book but she wasn't quite believable. I did like some of the scenes with Isobel - the fairy - and people's reactions to her were interesting.
Not as good as the two Chocolate books, but still good light reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars A grown up fairy tale, 2 Mar 2008

Mrs Z - See all my reviews

This review is from: It's a Kind of Magic (Paperback)

I've read all of Carole Matthews books and I found this very different to what she usually writes, but still really enjoyed it.
If you're the kind of girl who likes fairy tales then this is the book for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than "PS I love you"
Very strange, Magical & funny book-I am going through them all, but so far this is the Best. Enjoy. Read this in 1 day, how sad am I.

3.0 out of 5 stars Hmm, Ok, but not much more.
This is OK, but not the best. It's fairly typical of some writers who are on the publishing treadmill, trying to churn out a book a year or so. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Magic and Chick lit
This book is a totally different style to Carole Matthews other books, but if you have ever wished for magic and chick lit in the same book, this is for you.

I read this book last week on holiday and was very disappointed - it was awful, even for a beach read. The only 'magic' is in the title. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Different but in a good way.
I really enjoyed this book once I got used to the magical side of it. It was a fun light hearted read with many laugh out loud moments. I think it would make a very good film.
