Cat Magic

Summary: Amazing Imagery
Review: Alongside 'The Talisman' by Stephen King & Peter Straub, this is my equal favourite book of all time.

I found that I could relate so well to the characters within the community, especially to the 'new recruit' who is an Illustrator like myself. The constant recognition of parts of my own psyche as they were gradually unveiled sent shivers down my spine.

The plot is in parts thrilling, terrifying, surreal, sickening; in others exciting, emotional, even erotic.

The coven/community (without wishing to give too much away) will undoubtedly appeal to anyone with an interest in Wicca, Earth Magick or the Western Tradition, as an ideal to which we may all aspire, but also serves to draw to the attention of all humankind just how cruel, thoughtless and intolerant we all are, and how much better the world could be if only we opened our minds and spirits and tried to live beyond the mundane.

Unfortunately, I loaned my copy of the book to a friend some years ago and it was never returned. As I am longing to read it again (and keep this precious piece of literature forever), I implore the publishers to reprint in as soon as possible!

Summary: A Book to Remember
Review: Cat Magic by Whitley Streiber is a wonderful blend of suspense, fantasy and biographical data all rolled into one book. I read this when it came out and, alas -- I have yet to fnd another copy. I do hope that the publisher will re-release this one, it's a read for the ages. The magic and terror he weaves into the story pulls you in and won't let you go. As I've stated, I read this book over ten years ago, and some of the images still linger in my mind. The setting is in a working coven/commune and the love story is amazingly complex. The whole book is a celebration of the spirit and the magic within us all. A wonderful Millinium read, for the brave new world we're entering.

Summary: A fun little read
Review: Despite the cheesy cover art, Whitley Streiber put together a pleasant little read in his pre-Communion days. He has the usual trouble male authors frequently have when trying to write about the intimate thoughts and feelings of a woman, but otherwise it is good enough. I did, however, keep thinking of questions he had left unanswered after I finished the book. Naughty Whitley.

Summary: Wonderfully moving and heartfelt, makes you long for more!
Review: I loved this book. I've read it 3 times. I don't have enough words to describe the passion this story evokes in me. Full of magick of the rawest kind, and just enough danger to keep your blood pumping. When I read this book I long to live at Constance Colliers witch village. Oh, if only there was such a place!! This is a great work of art.

Summary: A Book for the New Age of the World
Review: This book has the possibility of changing the way the world works. The community represented in this work is an atainable nirvana for the global community. The author has done a beautiful job of weaving suspense, romance and biographical information into a tale that will bring you into a different state of conciousness. I hope the publisher will get this book back into print soon. I lost my copy and I can't feature going into 2000 without it. I read it over 10 years ago, and the story still pulls at my heart.

Summary: Amazing Imagery
Review: Well as I am No great writer, I'll make this short and shiny. The imagery in this book was amazing, throughout the book I felt as if I were part of the Covenstead, as if I was there to see all that was occuring,I gained feelings for Amanda Walker, Robin and also a slight pang of sympathy for Constance. The book created a wall of unexplainable atmosphere for me . In a short conclusion I reccommend this book to any one with an intrest in witchcraft, or alternative communities. I am dying to read more from Strieber.
