Okay, so I am not usually one to read non-fiction books for fun. Honestly, I think this may be one of the first in a long time. But this one was really interesting.

If you know me, you will know I love history of witches. I just find it heartbreaking and interesting and I want to know all I can about it. This book is right up my alley. It explores not only the Salem witch trials of 1692, but also what led to those false accusations. It was fascinating.

I loved getting an in depth historical look at the New England coast and their various trials, not just in Salem. I would consider myself a fan of the witch trials. This book, I believe, is pushing me on the road to becoming a scholar. I want to find more and more about them. (Possibly even putting together my own research? Who knows.)

If you want a very well written and accessible history of the Salem Witch Trials, look no further than Stacy Schiff's book. Honestly, take a look.

I think this book was written for a 6 year old...or a really clueless, Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan!

This one takes "fluffy Wicca" to the extreme!

It may work for some...but not for me...I've been a witch for way to long!

Good for a beginner, maybe!

I was surprised by this book. It was nowhere near what I thought it would be. The plot follows a girl who is all logic and no imagination. Luckily she has a friend who is the exact opposite. With her friends help and the help of a mysterious boy they fight off an evil witch and find the book.

I was impressed by the plot but the length made the story difficult to read. I found myself bored at some points and wanting to skip ahead. While those who enjoy witch books may enjoy this one it just wasn't for me. Maybe if it had been more compact I would have found more enjoyment.

Pretty good!
A big difference to the Teeanage Witch I watched in the 90s. I have found it to be a great easy watch. It has a good plot and the characters are good to. My only problem is.... Salem. He doesn't talk. His sass is missed!
