[.ca] Power of Three (ISBN 061322213X)

good kick start:
this is the first book in the series althogugh it mirrors the first episode completly. it introduces all the main characters well setting the scene well for how the sisters will cope with their new found witchiness. even if your not really into charmed but you do like wicca this is a great book!!!

Surprisingly good read!:
I usually don't like novelizations of episodes of TV shows or movies, but this was really well written. I purchased this because "Something Wicca This Way Comes", the episode the book is based on, is one my favorite Charmed episodes and I wanted to see for myself if this book would be any good. It was exactly as I remembered the pilot episode and I found myself picturing the scenes vividly as I read. The characterization was very well done and the author captured Prue, Piper and Phoebe's personalities very well with the inner thoughts. Great book for anyone who enjoys the TV show.

Just Like The Piolet, It's Charmed!!:
This story, being the first in a set, was just like the show's piolet (first episode aired). This is the book that started it all as was the piolet that started all the magic and excitement that sweeped the nation October 7, 1998. This story starts with Piper auditioning for the place of a cook at Quake. Farther into the story, Piper, Prue, and Phoebe find out they are witches. Piper found out that Jeremey, her current boyfriend, is a warlock who is out to get them. If you need a story like this that will make you laugh and make you entertained, this is the book with you.

How they got "Charmed":
This book is based on the first episode of the hit WB Show "Charmed". It is about three dark haired sisters, Phoebe (the youngest sister), Piper (the middle sister) and Prue (the the eldest sister). They are the Halliwells. Phoebe had been living in New York while Piper and Prue live in their Grams' old house where they grew up in San Francisco, ever since Prue accused Phoebe of seducing her (now ex) fiancee, Roger, who is also Prue's boss at her job in the museum. When Phoebe returns home to live in the house with her sisters, she finds a "Book of Shadows" in the attic. After reading a spell to awaken the sisters' "powers", the sisters find out they are the Charmed Ones, the most powerful witches and that they descended from a long line of witches. Suddenly, Prue can move things with her mind, Piper can freeze time and Phoebe can see into the future. But a warlock is hunting them, as many will. Is it Prue's ex fiancee Roger? Is it Prue's old high school flame Andy, who bumped into Prue shortly after their power's were awakened? Is it Piper's sweet boyfriend Jeremy? Or is it the milkman or the paperboy or the baker? Because it can be anyone... Read the book to Find Out!!

A Good Start:
I didn't see the first show in the television series so I can't compare the book to the show. This is the first in the series of Charmed Books though so in a way... it's a fresh start. This was a good introduction to Prue, Phoebe & Piper and how they come into being the CHARMED ONES. The book read well and held my attention... not a long book to read either. I think this series is going to be very exciting and I look forward to reading more.
