Summary: Magical, wonderful, a classic
Review: While I recommend all of Dahl's books, this is one of his best. It sparkles with life and excitement, with lively characters and thrilling situations. It has every element of a great children's book; from page one, any child who picks this up will be enthralled.I, too, follow a Pagan path, but don't take any offense whatsoever; the mythology of this book comes right out of Dahl's Norwegian childhood, and has nothing to do with Wicca at all. It's a great book....don't read offense into it, please!

Summary: Exciting, adventerous, creepy!
Review: This is a great book. It's about a boy who changes into a mouse by witches. He has lots of adventures until he figures out a plan to stop the witches. The witches in this book have blue spit, no hair, no fingers, square feet, and they hate children with red hot hair. Read this book to find out what happens to the witches and the mouse-boy. Happy reading!

Summary: This book made me feel like witches were right there.
Review: My favorite character was the Grand High Witch, because she had a great attitude and a very pretty mask. When she took it off, her face was a prune. I would say that this book is for children who like fairy tales alot. I really liked this book and I hope you like it too. Ashley, (8 years old)

Summary: So Good!! Maybe the best Dahl book ever!!
Review: This book catches your attention from the first sentence to the last!! The plot moves with breakneck speed, twisting and turning its way towards a surprise ending. Just the thing to while away the hours on a long car ride!!

Summary: A Disgrace to the Pagan Religion
Review: This book in no way shows what real witches act like. With young children reading this book, they are getting the wrong idea about the Pagan Religion. It's bias and doesn't deserve to have the word Witch in the title. The Pagan Religion is dedicated to Nature, not little boys.

Summary: Rubbish
Review: As a Wiccan, aka. witch, I find this book's treatment of "real-life witches" derogative, inflammatory, false, and ignorant. Witches ARE everyday people, just like YOU. Witches hate children? perhaps I should tell my son that. This book is just another way to make our children hate certain people because they are different. This is a very disturbing look at typical human arrogance. I wouldn't recommend it to ANYONE, let alone a child.

Summary: My ALLTIME favourite!!
Review: This is a book I first read when i was twelve years old. Now, eight years later I have read it more than twenty times and I love it even more than I did the first time. Roald Dahl wrote books for both adults and children, and "The Witches" fits well into both categories. It is a book that makes you believe ( I must admit that I am always on the look-out for women with square feet and purple eyes...) A beautiful story, yet It will make your skin crawl...Exciting, mesmerising and cunning - clever, creepy and wise....need I say more? A CLASSIC for both children and grown-ups!
