Take the phone off the hook, check your logic at the door!

Charmed is one of my favorite guilty pleasures. Of course, I've watched it for years -- over and over again! I love everything about it. The clothes, the hair the relationships -- they all make Charmed one of the great girl mind-candy shows of all time! I've put off really getting into the books, because I didn't want the Charmed experience ruined for me. Not to fear! Survival of the Fittest is a truly fun read, and Jeff Mariotte was able to take me back into that world of magical sisters in a way that almost rivaled the show's impact. The theme of the exercise program taking over people's minds was really fun. This is a very quick read that Charmed fans will enjoy.

A Great Improvement!

Actually this book would only have gotten 3 stars if not for the fact Jeff wrote another book 'Mirror Image', and this one exceeded the previous by a very wide margin. The demon is frightening enough and the plot is thick enough. Jeff learnt to plant little deaths throughout the story and hence increased the intrigue. A problem is that Piper's powers were not used much here, and hence it lacks the punch that it could have if all powers were utilised here. The exercise-based storyline is also a bit, weird. I feel that it was tacky. An amendment could be that Meg Winship was a talk show host (like Opran Winfrey) and her show was a conduit of some sort. The viewers get hooked and they finally chant the spell to open the portal, rather than DANCE it open. Still, big improvement.

Brilliantly Charmed

this was a great book. i especially liked this book out of the charmed book series. i'm a big fan of the show and of the books.

Pretty Good!

This book was pretty good, well written. I was a little nervous reading it, I thought it might be stupid, but it was able to pull me in within the first few lines. All in all it's a good book! I couldn't put it down. If you really like Charmed, you'll really like this book. Daryl makes an appearance in the book, so if you like him, you'll be happy. It'll make you think twice about exercising though. :)
