I have always kind of enjoyed Hoffman's writing...especially PRACTICAL MAGIC which could be the ultimate summer feel-good novel, but as someone who has not and will not give in to that Twitter...thing I found this sort of surprising

It reminds of the time that nutjob who wrote "Dog Sees God" or whatever the hell it's called was on here and did not take kindly to criticism of his play.

As someone who totally understands irritational overreactions, even I am cringing at the thought her giving out the woman's phone number.

"I am cringing at the thought her giving out the woman's phone number"

I'm trying to figure out how to get Hugh Jackman to piss her off.

"G'day!"

"Hugh, what are you wearing?"

"Who's this then?"

"Do you have on underwear?"

"John, is this you, mate?"

Twitter can be fun for meltdowns!

Trent Reznor had one once. Perez Hilton and Pete Wentz had one the night MJJ died.

Yeah, giving out the woman's phone number?

But I usually enjoy Alice Hoffman's books and I'm sure I'll read this one.

I'm wondering if she was more angry that it was a so-so review, or that the review gave the plot away?

In her defense, I HATE when reviewers give away the entire plot of a book, movie, etc.

I agree, Phyllis!
