Great story, told with suspense, a real thriller. Fun and creative, a real joy to listen to on audio. ( )

Essentially Danny The Champion of the World with magic instead of realism. Not as sweet as "Danny" but just as lovable. A mid-level solid Roald Dahl book. ( )

I'm only reading this book because I want to read The Witches: The Graphic Novel by Pénélope Bagieu, and I prefer to have read the original work before reading an adaptation. I never read Roald Dahl's book when I was a child, and I fear I must have missed some window of appreciation, because I just don't get why his stuff is popular at all.

I mean this book starts out with some heavy woman hating -- all witches are women, witches are hard to distinguish, therefore it's best to be suspicious of all women -- and ends on the premise later used for the Dexter TV show. I understand how this can be viewed as subversive, but it just mostly seems inappropriate to me. ( )

When a young boy's parents are killed in an accident, he is off to live with his grandmother in Norway. She teaches him all about witches, as they are prevalent in the region. As they travel to England to settle his parents affairs and prepare for a new life together, they encounter the annual meeting of the witches.

This book was a fast-paced and delightful read. ( )
