The Witches by Roald DahlMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
If I read this as a kid it would have gotten 5/5 stars. I still really enjoyed it!
First book I've ever read that the main character does not have a name!
Roald Dahl has such a talent... such an open imaginative unconventional mind.
The ending snagged at my heart a bit <3 The Heart of a Mouse
My biggest issue with the book was that I like to think witches are cool, sexy, powerful, and mysterious but the witches in this story are retched, vile, evil, bald, ugly beings lol. They're sole joy in life is to find ways to make children disappear.
My only other issue was that the beginning dragged sometimes, like when Grandmama was telling the boy about what witches were like. And dragged a bit too much when the boy was listening in on the witches meeting. Also - why does "the boy" not have a name??? lol
