Book Reviews of The Witches
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.
Book Review: weird,creepy, but good
Summary: 5 Stars
Now i am going to try not to give the story away, but if you have seen the movie well... I don't think there is much to tell.( I have not seen the movie). But if your dad tells you the boy is a mouse at the end well...he is right. But anyway it made #1 on my best list of books. Sorry if I ruined the book for you. Ohh and if you are trying to get your mom to get this for you show her this review first. ANYONE I MEAN ANYONE who thinks they are a little odd out you are going to LOVE this book. (I am not saying you are if you like this book.) If you like mice you might like this book. If you like danger you will like this book. And if you like weirdness most likely you will like this book.Book Review: Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
Roald Dahl is a wonderful author, and I've read many of his books. This is definitely a good book, and if you've seen and enjoyed the movie, be sure to check out the book. The movie does a great visualization of the book, but the book contains a few details the movie is lacking in, and it's always best to check out the book any movie came from! The witches are presented in an amusing way - this story does have a few scary bits and is not appropriate for young children, but it is definitely appropriate for school-age children (and adults, too!)Book Review: another great Dahl story!
Summary: 5 Stars
This story has three parts: the first - scary and gruesome, the second - funny, full of adventure and predictable, the third - warm, unexpected and full of promise and excitement.
What stays with me is the love between the grandson and the grandmother - they fully accept one another despite their differences and they enthusiastically enjoy life and each other.
The ending is left open for the imagination - not taken to a close like so much these days where nothing is left to ponder upon.
Book Review: A Gem
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this book! I was at my cousin's house when she had book club, and having read this many times, I forgot how great it was! Luckily, I chose to read it again, and fell in love for the second time! With characters that only Roahld Dahl himself could come up with, this book is a find. An eccentric grandmother, a curious boy, and evil creatures, this book is masterpiece. One of my favorites in the Dahl collection, thank you to the author!!!!
