Scary, funny, and satisfying young novel. The witches are horrible and sneaky, but defeatable. Clever writing.

Do not read this if you are about to go to bed! The Witches by Roald Dahl is a terrifying book about witches who spend every minute of their lives devising plots to kill children. They are disguised as normal women, but they have bizarre…

This is possibly the best of Dahl's kiddie books. Just the right mount of possibilities in a fantasy world where no one has trouble accepting the premise. Great to read aloud especially to 'reluctant' readers.

The Witches is one of my favorite Roald Dahl books. As a little kid, I was captivated by the bald, toe-less witches with long fingernails and blue saliva. As an adult, I'm still enthralled by the nameless boy and his heroic grandmother.…

The Witches is my favourite book written by Roald Dahl. The plot is completely unpredictable and the way the book is written is unique. The author's writing style is special in this particular book. There's always a rhyme embedded in the…

Real witches don’t make potions or ride on broomsticks. They don’t wear silly costumes or cackle. They act like regular women and hate children. They will do anything to get rid of them. This is a fast-paced adventure book that's…

Loved this book as a child. I even bought the DVD of the 1990 movie with Anjelica Huston. Can’t wait to see how the upcoming remake will be handled.

This was such a lark to read even for an adult. The witches were such creepy malicious creatures described in a hilarious way. The most touching part of the story is the boy's relationship with his grandma. He got turned into a mouse in…

This is a great book. It’s interesting and also kind of creepy. Even though I found this book was pretty predictable it was still fun to read. I also liked the end. I like that it wasn’t the happiest ending ever but it also wasn’t the…

Wow, The Witches has got to be my favourite book ever. It was so smartly written that I honestly thinking Roald Dahl is some sort of genius! The Witches is a book about a young boy who lives with his grandmother since he lost his parents.…

I read this to my 7-year-old daughter and she loved it. It was a little scary with witches disposing of children in a variety of delightful ways (turning them to mice being one of them) but if you have a child who likes a bit of a fright,…

I liked this book because it had a very adventurous theme. I liked the part the witch took her mask of and showed her real face.

This book is great but if you wish to watch the movie..............................BEWARE it's really REALLY CREEPY! I loved the quote when he and his grandma say" My darling," she said at last," are you sure you don't mind being a mouse…

Read this out loud to a class of first graders, they found hysterical (I enjoyed using voices!). The kids didn't seem to find it scary but, it had been a long time since I had read it and I found it terrifying!
