Book Reviews of The Witches
Book Review: Danielle's Favorite Book
Summary: 5 Stars
I think this is a really good book. It is mainly about a nine year old boy who has a very sweet grandma and sets off to stop the witches from vanishing all the children. It is not just funny, it is also frightening. The part I like the best if when the witch turns the boy into a mouse.Book Review: Did not receive
Summary: 1 Stars
Ordered it May 13 and have still not recieved it. I guess I have to contact amazon now? I guess better not buy from this seller....Book Review: Disasterously wicked, with a smile
Summary: 4 Stars
This will continue to be one of the most dazzling examples of children's literature. How can you not love something of so much horror that comes off with such humor and charm?
In classic Dahl fashion, a boy is horrible orphaned to be left with his grandmother, a woman who belives in the dangers of witches.
What follows is a hotel adventure that manages to make witches villainous and yet as properly British as possible.
It's tongue-in-cheek and continuinly clever. I also think it is some of the best imagination Dahl has ever shone.
Book Review: Do not allow your children to read this 1 Stars
The premise of this book is the murder of children. In an increasingly violent society it is irresponsible to expose our children needlessly to fears that any and every woman they know could be a witch who seeks to hunt them down and kill them. I have asked my children's school to remove this book from the school library. We do not need reading material that desensitizes our children to the most heinous of crimes.Book Review: Freaky Book (in a good way) (a student's review)
Summary: 5 Stars
I LOOOOOOOOVE this book. It was very good. There was a lot of magic. There also was a lot of mice. "Eeeeeek!" they would say. I would say this would be my favorite book in the world. I want everyone to read it. Again, I LOVE THIS BOOK!
