5.0 out of 5 stars Masterpiece!, 28 Feb 2006
By kehs (Hertfordshire, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: The Good Fairies of New York (Paperback)
This is a fantastic book that should never have been allowed to go out of print. The two main fairies are banished from Scotland and end up in New York where they cause chaos by declaring open warfare amongst the fairy community there.Sex, drugs and anarchy reign - definitely not your average fairy tale! A masterpiece from Martin Millar, don't miss this chance of buying a copy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Should never have been allowed to go out of print, 22 Oct 2004
By Jenny (London, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Good Fairies of New York (Paperback)
This is an excellent book - one of my favourites. It is a crime that it has been allowed to go out of print and I urge you to buy a copy if you can get your hands on one. Be prepared to be introduced to a very different kind of fairy to the ones you usually hear stories about. These fairies enjoy drinking, eating magic mushrooms and passing out but they still manage to help a couple of humans to get their lives together along the way.

5.0 out of 5 stars The fairies are abroad, 17 Jun 2007
This review is from: The Good Fairies of New York (Paperback)
The rock n roll Scottish thistle fairies, Heather and Morag, are on the run.

Their disrepute brings them to New York, New York!

Beauty, romance, rock n roll, obscure disease, warring factions, and, yes, even the ghost of punk legend Johnny Thunders grace this fast-moving tale.

Martin Millar's unique ability to bring fantasy slam bang together with harsh reality truly shines.
