jazzy_daveJennifer Crusie "Totally Charmed : Demons, Whitelighters And the Power of Three (Smart Pop)
This book compiles a gaggle of essays on the facts, fans, flaws and fallacies of "Charmed." The chapters are written by a variety of fantasy, science fiction and romance novelists, modern witches, essayists, columnists, film critics, scientists and more.
"Charmed" has always been a show that more than what it seemed. It was never really about 3 sisters with magical powers, but 3 sisters and their dynamic. That's one of the things that I loved about this book - it takes the ideas presented in the series over the course of the past 7 years (not including the current 8th season) and examines them. My favorite is the article discussing Piper's powers that both freeze and speed up time adhering to the idea that , in my opinion, most of magic is just undiscovered science. To learn that there is actually a scientific theory behind her power was absolutely fascinating.
So if you're looking for something a little different to read, pick this one up. You won't regret it.
