Book Reviews of Witness
Book Review: "Witness"
Summary: 5 Stars
The novel Witness by Karen Hesse was very good. It really gave you a good idea of how they lived back in the past in really life situations. There were 11 main characters who all told their perspective and point of view. This book took place in Vermont in 1924 when the Ku Klux Klan came in. When the Ku Klux Klan came in everyone started fighting for safety. Ester Hirsh (age 6, Jewish) and Leanora Sutter (age 12, African-American) who were the youngest were especially not safe, being victims of the Klan. Now the town is turning against each other and putting a lot of people in danger. The author's intentions were to show how people lived in the past and the things people did to those who were not white. This shows the racism, hate groups and prejudice people back in the past. I would highly recommend this book to others. I liked the format on it a lot and how they had a lot of different perspectives instead of just one, I think that was part of what made the story so good.
