5.0 out of 5 stars Masterpiece!, 28 Feb 2006
By kehs (Hertfordshire, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fairy Tales of a Different kind, 13 Oct 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: The Good Fairies of New York (Paperback)
This book was a very good and easy read. If you like the thought of fairies running riot around a big city, then you'll like this book. It's a huge shame that this has gone out of print as it is one of my favourite books. A couple of mad Scottish fairies get drunk in New York and meet fairies of other cultures. Although it focuses on the two Scottish fairies, Heather and Morag, there are several other characters (both humans and fairies alike). The book itself follows the day to day struggles of fairy life in New York and is a fun read. I would recommend this book to anyone that believes!
