There are some 300 page books that feel like they are 20 pages, and then there are 300 page books that feel like they are 1,000 pages. I felt the length of this one. I have been looking forward to reading The Witches for years as I have heard and read nothing but great things about this book. Perhaps my expectations were a bit too high. Don’t get me wrong- I think it is a very good book and deserves all of its praise, but for some reason I kept thinking “is it not over yet? Why is it taking forever to get through?” I think everyone should read it (particularly women), as it is a landmark book and is really bold considering when it was first published (1984). I am glad I read it- and I’m sure if I read this in college I would have had created a great paper about some topic or another- but I don’t know how frequently I’ll be returning to re-read it.
