Book Reviews of The Witches
Book Review: Fun and Engaging Reading!
Summary: 4 Stars
My 6th and 7th greaders loved this book. ALL students enjoyed it, including myself. Everyday when students entered the room, they asked to read "The Wicthes." Students engaged in this wonderful fantasy and wanted to help Luke (the boy) and his Grandmamma to defeat the witches after the Grad High Witch turned Luke into a mouse. It was an entertaining reading, which got even my reluctant readers into action.Book Review: Fun but Slightly Creepy
Summary: 3 Stars
A young boy and his spunky grandmother go on vacation and discover that all the witches in England are attending a convention at their hotel. Craziness ensues when the boy comes face to face with the real-life witches.
It's hard not to love Roald Dahl. He was one of my favorite authors growing up. He is witty and tells a fun story. The Witches is no exception. Dahl has a clever imagination and children love him because he is endears children and elderly people, who are often looked over members of society. The Witches is an amusing and fun read. It also contains a sweet story of love between grandson and his grandmother.
Roald Dahl may be pro-children and elderly, but he is somewhat anti-adult. Other than the grandmother, adults in The Witches are portrayed as evil, fat and stupid, ridiculous or dead. There are also some pretty graphic ideas presented- e.g. witches killing children by turning them into creatures and smashing them. I don't remember this greatly affecting me as a child, but I found it a little disturbing now.
Book Review: GIVE A HAND FOR THE WITCHES!
Summary: 5 Stars
Witches is one of the best books I've ever read. The story is about a boy. In the beginning the boy's parents die so he has to stay with his grandmother. The grandmother starts telling him about witches. His grandmother starts to get very ill. When she was getting better , they decide to take a vacation at a hotel where he meets the Grand High witch. From there it's a very exciting and a suspenseful book.
My favorite part of this book was when he was caught by a witch. I thought that he was done. It was one of the most suspenseful parts of this book. In that part my heart was pumping so fast because it was that suspenseful.
This a great book for people who like exciting and heart pumping books. It's also great for little children to adults. It's also fun to read when the Grand High witch starts to talk with an accent.
