A Review by Patrick

Summary - This book is about a little boy and the witches of England. The little boys Grandmother tells him all about real witches. When he knows all about real witches he comes face to face with a real witch but manages to get away. On summer vacation the little boy and his Grandmother go on a trip to ‘The Hotel Magnificent.’ There he gets trapped in a room with hundreds of witches plus the Grand high witch. Will he escape, or will he die? To find out read the book, “The Witches.”

Character Development- Characters in this book have grown in many ways like knowing that even the tiniest of creatures can accomplish something great. 

Lessons - There were a lot of lessons through this book. The most important thing Grandmother learned was to not to lose hope and the Little Boy learned that you could accomplish something if you believe in it and yourself. I learned that and more when I read this book. 

Imagination - I think that this book had a great imagination. Roald Dahl had such a good imagination for all his books. The Imagination to this book gave it a little extra touch and made it even better. 

Difficulty - I think this book was in the level of 4,5, & 6. It wasn’t too hard but it wasn’t easy. I think it was in-between. 

Suspense - The Suspense in the book was very intense. It kept me hanging on the edge of my seat. It had a lot of twists and turns. I enjoyed the amount of suspense in the book. It didn’t have too much, yet not to little. 

Overall Recommendation - I think that this book was excellent and you should read it too. That is if you are in grades
4,5, or 6. 

Author Report
I chose a book by Roald Dahl. His imagination was so big I can’t begin explain. When Rohld Dahl was a little boy he loved to write. He wrote tons of books like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda, The Witches and many others. I read The Witches for my book report. He wrote fabulous books. Actually I collect these books. Rohld Dahl passed away in the 1950’s. So all his books were written before me or any of my other classmates were born. I think that many people were sad when Rahld Dahl dies. Many of his books have the same sort of covers. I would have loved to meet him. Rohld Dahl may have died, but his books will live on forever.
