Book Reviews of Night Witch
Book Review: derivative and silly
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this book on a whim because I was bored and I thought it might be an interesting story with some supernatural and historical elements. But I was wrong. While I hoped the story would be as good as those by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, it turned out that this was just another simple vampire/werewolf story with no new ideas. Preston and Child are capable of weaving intricate stories with historical details and supernatural twists that capture the mind. Mr. Priest jotted down a straightforward monster story with no intrigue. Preston and Child developed a fascinating character in Agent Pendergast, while Priest concocted one-dimensional characters. For most of the book, the good guys beat the hell out of the witch and she just keeps coming back for more-very tedious and comical (I kept picturing the coyote and road runner cartoons.) There is really nothing noteworthy about this book. Mr. Priest needs to do some serious research before he attempts to write another novel.
