When I was a child I used to watch The Witches （1990） many times， because I loved the movie and it was supposed to be my favorite one so far。 Unfortunately， I didn’t remember almost anything about the story， except one scene， which is like a vivid memory indeed – I remember saying to myself: “It’s just a movie， don’t be scared” while I was seeing the witches eating the soup around the long table and suddenly… sorry， I’m getting scared again。 The Witches by Roald Dahl is definitely a book that re When I was a child I used to watch The Witches （1990） many times， because I loved the movie and it was supposed to be my favorite one so far。 Unfortunately， I didn’t remember almost anything about the story， except one scene， which is like a vivid memory indeed – I remember saying to myself: “It’s just a movie， don’t be scared” while I was seeing the witches eating the soup around the long table and suddenly… sorry， I’m getting scared again。 The Witches by Roald Dahl is definitely a book that reminds me of my childhood， and whose reading was a delightful and lovely experience， despite my previous experience with the movie。Honestly， I enjoyed almost everything inside this novel; some characters such as the boy and his grandmother were lovable and charming。 On the other hand， The Grand High Witch was a horrible， wicked “person”， but at the same time， I have to admit that she was my favorite character in the story。The only chapters that I didn’t really enjoy so much were the last two ones， perhaps I felt this part as though it was not the best ending for the story; it also was a little bit disappointing and underwhelming。 Even so， this wasn’t a big problem for me because I certainly loved the way the author introduced us to the witches and how they take part in the novel。 Ultimately， I believe Quentin Blake’s work， whose illustrations are quite adorable and beautiful， is always necessary in a Roald Dahl book because it’s a perfect complement and it helps you to be fond of the story。 Bravo！ “It doesn't matter who you are or what you look like so long as somebody loves you。” 。。。more

Even tho this is a kids book and I’m an adult， enjoyed this one so much and read it in one sitting。 His way of writing is absolutely addictive。 It’s a great book for a kid to read

Overall Rating: 4/5Short Chapter Rating: 4/5I really enjoyed reading this book with my kids （7 yr old and 6 yr old）。 It was a unique story and it kept the kids interested。 We have been reading a lot of Roald Dahl， and so far he has not disappointed us。 The concept of the witches and their disguises was funny and the kids got a kick out of it， and they often talk about their feet or hair， etc。 in random conversations。 In my eyes， that means it was entertaining！Is this book for you？ If you like Ro Overall Rating: 4/5Short Chapter Rating: 4/5I really enjoyed reading this book with my kids （7 yr old and 6 yr old）。 It was a unique story and it kept the kids interested。 We have been reading a lot of Roald Dahl， and so far he has not disappointed us。 The concept of the witches and their disguises was funny and the kids got a kick out of it， and they often talk about their feet or hair， etc。 in random conversations。 In my eyes， that means it was entertaining！Is this book for you？ If you like Roald Dahl， like the idea of scaring your kids into thinking any women they pass could be a witch， have a sense of humour。。。。than give this one a go。 。。。more

“My darling，" she said at last， are you sure you don't mind being a mouse for the rest of your life？""I don't mind at all" I said。It doesn't matter who you are or what you look like as long as somebody loves you。”You are still yourself in everything except your appearance。 You've still got your own mind and your own brain and your own voice， and thank goodness for that。 “My darling，" she said at last， are you sure you don't mind being a mouse for the rest of your life？""I don't mind at all" I said。It doesn't matter who you are or what you look like as long as somebody loves you。”You are still yourself in everything except your appearance。 You've still got your own mind and your own brain and your own voice， and thank goodness for that。 。。。more

"Está é uma história de BRUXAS DE VERDADE"Eu sou apaixonado por livros infantojuvenil， não tem coisa mais fascinante do que a magia de uma história para crianças。 "As bruxas" é exatamente assim， mágico do começo ao fim， fofo， esquisito e repleto de aprendizado。 Impressionante que mesmo depois de ver os filmes diversas vezes essa é uma história que eu nunca me canso de viver novamente。 "Está é uma história de BRUXAS DE VERDADE"Eu sou apaixonado por livros infantojuvenil， não tem coisa mais fascinante do que a magia de uma história para crianças。 "As bruxas" é exatamente assim， mágico do começo ao fim， fofo， esquisito e repleto de aprendizado。 Impressionante que mesmo depois de ver os filmes diversas vezes essa é uma história que eu nunca me canso de viver novamente。 。。。more

Questions looking back， but this， in classic Roald Dahl fashion， was very funny， kinda dark for kids， and totally worth possible trauma。

Good book， but more for kids than teens。 Too easy for native English speakers anyway。 I read them in primary school for class。

I don't really think this will help in real life because I don't believe in witches。 But I do believe in black magic （I think。。。）。 Because my dad told me that his friend has a neighbour that practises black magic。 But， whatever。 Isn't a person who practises magic a witch though？ I don't really think this will help in real life because I don't believe in witches。 But I do believe in black magic （I think。。。）。 Because my dad told me that his friend has a neighbour that practises black magic。 But， whatever。 Isn't a person who practises magic a witch though？ 。。。more

Takoneando entre libros ，

Estará megarreseñado， pero me da igual。。。es tan bueno que se merece otro post hablando de él。Qué genio este Roald y qué manera de hacer magia con la desgracia de un niño y convertirlo en alguien muy especial。。。una vez más。 Imagino que la dura infancia que tuvo en el internado le hizo escribir sobre niños que conseguían esquivar sus miserias gracias a la magia， al chocolate y los ratones。

Louise Cowell ，

I bloomin’ loved this book as a child and I still do。 There’s some parts that I read and though ‘ooooh that hasn’t aged well’ but still a brilliant book！！

Carla ，

Un magnífico libro de Roald Dahl。 Me hizo añorar mi infancia y recordar la película。 Buena narrativa， ideal para infantes。

As much as I enjoy the style of Road Dahl， I don’t know if I can get 100% behind this book。 The ending felt too unfinished。 It honestly felt a little depressing。 Nonetheless， the story is respectfully entertaining。

Dahl is truly a magical writer， inviting readers into his version of the world。 In The Witches， we meet an unnamed， young boy （our narrator） and his Norwegian grandmother who cares for him， and we learn very early in the book that he must be careful of witches。 They hide among us， she says， and she gives different signs for her grandson to look for。 Because it is not long before he encounters his first witch -- and then， unfortunately， witches by the dozens， with very negative consequences。 This Dahl is truly a magical writer， inviting readers into his version of the world。 In The Witches， we meet an unnamed， young boy （our narrator） and his Norwegian grandmother who cares for him， and we learn very early in the book that he must be careful of witches。 They hide among us， she says， and she gives different signs for her grandson to look for。 Because it is not long before he encounters his first witch -- and then， unfortunately， witches by the dozens， with very negative consequences。 This book is quite imaginative and would be great for early- and mid-elementary students。 。。。more

REAL WITCHES dress in ordinary clothes and look very much like ordinary women。 They live in ordinary houses and they work in ORDINARY JOBS。 That is why they are so hard to catch。 A REAL WITCH hates children with a red-hot sizzling hatred that is more sizzling and red-hot than any hatred you could possibly imagine。 An old， cigar-smokin'， Norwegian Gramma' tells her orphaned grandson about THE WITCHES。 Sure， it's exciting to listen to her relate her experiences with the， the things they've done a REAL WITCHES dress in ordinary clothes and look very much like ordinary women。 They live in ordinary houses and they work in ORDINARY JOBS。 That is why they are so hard to catch。 A REAL WITCH hates children with a red-hot sizzling hatred that is more sizzling and red-hot than any hatred you could possibly imagine。 An old， cigar-smokin'， Norwegian Gramma' tells her orphaned grandson about THE WITCHES。 Sure， it's exciting to listen to her relate her experiences with the， the things they've done and what they look like， but certainly he'll never be bothered by them， right？Wrong。When his grandmother gets sick with pneumonia， a trip to the Hotel Magnificent is the most ideal vacation site for her health and their previous plans for Norway are cancelled。 Little does our protagonist know that he truly will encounter WITCHES， but not just any witches， no。。。not just any ordinary witches。 I read and re-read this book several times when I was around 9 or 10 and to come back to it and explore it's beautiful pages was very amusing。 Roald Dahl is （of course） one of my favorite children's authors and with good reason too！ The stories he comes up with are sure to entertain an audience of every age！ The Witches is filled with humour and dreadful [in a good way ;）] characters that make uou shiver with excitement just reading about them！It is a decidedly delightful book that I really appreciate！ 。。。more
