Rating: Summary: Mom let me finish this great book Review: Witches by Roald Dalh is a great book for all ages because it is a non-fiction fairy tale. It is interesting how the witches think they can turn the kids into mice. It is also amusing how the witches have square feet, blue spit, claws instead of hands, and bald heads. They hide there pointy claws with white gloves and there baldness with wigs. How they find kids is by sniffing them out with their long noses. Witches is a great book especially if youare supersticious.
Rating: Summary: Dazzling, delicious, a literary wonder. Am I getting close? Review: Surely the best of Roald Dahl's works. 'The Witches' is just delightful, chock-full of wit and wonder. Dahl manages to create a society of witches (focusing on those in England) that are so horrible you just can't help but wonder about every fiber of their magic. From The Grand High Witch of All the World to the unnamed Boy and his kind elderly Grandmamma, every character is integrated with life. A real children's book, and one for any age.

Rating: Summary: One of My Favorite Dahl Books Review: "The Witches" begins with a short warning about witches--what they look like, how they act, etc.--, but the seven-year-old orphan boy who tells this story learns all about witches from his Norwegian grandmother--and, later, from firsthand experience.His first meeting with a witch is in his own backyard in Kent, England. She tries to coax him out of his tree house with a snake, but he recognizes her as a witch by her gloves and purple-tinted eyes and refuses to leave. The second time he meets a witch (actually, several witches), he isn't so lucky. This happens when he and his grandmother go to the Hotel Magnificent in Bournemouth so his grandmother can recover from pneumonia. The hotel they stay in is also the meeting place of several other English witches who are masquerading as members of the RSPCC (Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty of Children). Leading the convention is the Grand High Witch, the most evil and powerful witch alive. The young boy accidentally overhears the entire meeting of the witches and their terrible plan to exterminate all the children in the world by poisoning their candy. He even witnesses their mouse-transforming experiment on a young boy named Bruno Jenkins. And before the meeting ends, he's discovered and changed into a mouse as well. Although they're hopelessly small to physically stop the witches, they aim to outwit them with the help of the boy's grandmother--and a stolen bottle of Formula 86 Delayed Action Mouse-Maker. This was the first book by Roald Dahl I ever read and is still my favorite. I remember reading it dozens of times when I was a kid; it was that good. I highly recommend it to all 8 to 12-year-olds. I saw the movie several years later and thought it was all right, but not as good as the book. The movie's ending was too happy-ever-after, not that the book's ending was any better though. (It felt like there should be a sequel.) Nevertheless, I would still recommend the movie--right after you read the book, of course.
Rating: Summary: READ THIS BOOK! Review: THE WITCHES is a great book! You should read it. It's about witches who want to turn kids into mice. The main character, who doesn't have a name, gets turned into a mouse and his pay back is to turn the witches into mice, too! Read this book and you can find out more about it.
Rating: Summary: The Witches Review: I gave The Witches 4 stars because it's exciting and funny. It's a fiction story with mystery and adventure in it. The story takes place in the Magnificent Hotel in England. It also takes place in Norway. The main characters are the Witches, the Boy and the Grandmamma. The Witches have a meeting in the hotel. Bruno and the boy get turned into mice. Other characters are the Mom, Dad, Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins, the maid and the hotel manager. During the meeting the Grand High Witch presented a formula to turn kids into mice. The boy and his Grandmamma try to stop this. Otherwise there would be no more kids! Only mice! I really liked the book because it had lots of action in it. And if you're in 4th or 5th grade you will enjoy reading this book.
Rating: Summary: Funny and Wow Review: I love this book. I love how the little boy saved the day. I like his grandmama. It reminded me of my grandmother telling fantasy stories. I ask all the small children to read this wonderful and funny book.
Rating: Summary: A Backstreet Fave Review: This is one of AJ McLean(from the Backstreet Boys)'s favorite books as a child. I plan to read it, and from what I have heard, it's a very fun and imaginative book. The BSB are one of my fave groups and that sparked my interest. I'm 18 years old, and have always enjoyed childrens books, such as the more recent Harry Potter...so if you are a fan of kid's books or of the BSB, it is a worthwhile effort to pick up this book.
