Review: The book The Witches was a very good book. This book was about a little boy who found the secert meeting of the GRAND HIGH WITCH! my favorite character was the boy because he is very brave to stand up to all the witches like he did. my favorite part of the book was when all the witches turned to mice. I very much think u should read this it is a very good family book. I would tell you more of the book but i dont want to tell you the rest of the and ruin it for you.

Summary: In response to the indignant Wiccan Witches
Review: I respect the Wiccan religion, but I think the Witches who were so appalled are missing the point. I don't think Mr. Dahl even knew Wicca existed when he wrote this book. He certainly is not trying to portray peaceful Wiccan Witches as mean people--his definition of a "witch" is the warty creatures from fairy tales who poison princesses and make obstacles. If you read it, you'll notice that there is no mention of Wiccan practices by the women who are witches; they seem to be Christian, actually, considering that most people in England at that time were. The Halloween witch has nothing to do with the Wiccan Witch except that they are spelt the same way, and I'm sorry that the Wiccan Witches can't throw off their prejudice and enjoy the book as a fantasy about scary witches and a little boy who saves England from these women, and have a laugh about the hilarious descriptions and cackling action.

Summary: The Witches by Roald Dahl
Review: The Witches, is a very funny book. If you belive in witchcraft then you shouldn't read this book because this book had negative stuff about witches. This book said that real witches have no toes, bald heads, they are mean, always wear gloves and have curly fingers nails. This book talk about a boy whose parents died in a car accident. Now, he is staying with his grandmother at the hotel. He accidently comew across the real witches himself in the "Grand High Witches meeting." The witches were planning to turn all of the children in the hotel into a mice. Now, he had to save the children in the hotel by stealing the Witches's formula.

Summary: These complaints from Pagans are inane
Review: This book does not pretend to be representing the Pagan religion. It is not showing "witches" in the modern religious sense, but rather as the witches of the old traditional sense. If you are to complain about this book, you might as well complain against Macbeth, Wizard of Oz, and the entirety of Halloween. This is not political correctness, it is just an excuse for some people to complain.

Review: The Witches
This book is great, it brings out the excitement and urge to read. This book is a book that makes children wonder what's next. The characters are gruesome and horrifying.

His grandmother is eighty-nine who smokes a lot and she is still very healthy. One evening the grandmother had planed a wonderful trip to Norway with her grandson. Suddenly the woman got sick from her tobacco in her cigars. The doctor came to nourished her and to give her some time to recuperate. Once she had been cured she hollered down to her grandson. The sound of his trampling feet went as fast as they have ever gone. The grandson pounced into his elders arms and and hugged her tightly in his arms. He asked if they where still going on vacation. The doctor sighed and said with his head tucked into his shirt and said.
"Im afraid to say that you can't go far with your conditions, and that you can go to the hotel on the beach." After the boy received a great gift of a pair of mice (A great gift from the doctor of forgivness).They got there parcels gathered them and they left at once. When they reached there destination they unpacked and went there own way, the grandmother staying in the room knitting, and the grandson going to train his mice. Then something terrible happened, the strictly privet party or that's what they seem to call it, discovers him. which the rest is for you to find out.This book is great, the characters come alive which makes you want to read more.

Summary: Very very enjoyable!
Review: I read this book twice so far.... and both I and my seven year son enjoyed it very much. It's one of our fave books. The description of the "vitches" is hilarious and the suspence of the story makes it a very pleasant reading also for the parents. It's also mildly scary and children like scary stuff... but not too much!

Review: The Witches
Have you ever met a real Witch? I'm guessing not. In this story, The Witches by Roald Dahl, a boy named Charlie comes face to face with the Grand High Witch. His Grandmother, who lives in Norway, tells him all about them.
Once, Charlie was in a tree making his tree house and a woman came under the tree and started talking to him. Do you know who/what it was? A Witch!!! Charlie noticed all the signs of one. He stayed up in the tree and tried to ignore her.
-Will Charlie talk to her?
-Will the witch get him?
When Charlie and his Grandmother make it to Europe on vacation, he gets stuck in a room full of a committee of witches. The room had one closet so that's where he hid. At the time he had Mary and William (his two mice) with him. He was training them to be in a mouse circus. When the witches started their meeting, Charlie saw things he never saw before, all the signs of a witch. Then near the end of the meeting, Mary and Charlie got out!!!
-Will the witches notice?
-Will they get Charlie?
-If any thing, will Charlie survive?
Read on in this book and find out what happens. It is a very exciting book and is my favorite!!!
