Judgment Of Books The Witch's Boy

A tall twisted brew of a story, a mix of fairy tales, from Little Red Riding Hood, to Hansel and Gretel, to Pinocchio, to Rapunzel, to Snow White, Jack and the Beanstalk, all mixed against the background of a Rumpelstiltskin, THE WITCH'S BOY takes you on a journey from a witch's house in the woods, to Faeryland, to medieval towns and squares, to places full of gems under the earth, to the sea, and back around again. There are bear nurses, and cat men, and kings and queens and the like, and the

I am, by no means, a good literary critic. I mostly rate books by how they make me feel while I read them. I know many of you can appreciate a book for more than that, but it has to be really good for me to give a high rating while still making me feel awful.That being said, this book was very well written. I'm certain some of you would enjoy reading it for that alone. But I had a hard time with this one. It was sad. Its hard for me to get behind a character that is so negative. I felt bad for

This book is a wonder, a delight and a dark terror, much like the older fairy tales it emulates. It digs into the notion of what magic is and what it isnt and the true nature of a mothers love. There are many allusions to popular fairy tales, especially those of Grimm, and the story cleverly reinvents some of the well-known ones. But most of all it tells the story of Lump, a strangely ugly baby who learns almost too late to appreciate all that his kindly foster mother has done for him. Lump

The first 20 pages or so utterly enraptured me. They felt like everything a fairy tale should be. And the re-tellings of Fairy Tales sprinkled throughout the book were refreshing and intriguing. But the central theme of the book-- that a child raised by a talking bear, a magical cat, a petty trapped demon, and a witch losing her humanity should be a good child and a good man and is inherently flawed and bad if he isn't-- rubbed me the wrong way. On the other hand, Lump does earn his humanity and

I have a somewhat funny story that goes with this book. A few years ago I was at my boyfriend's house and, having finished the book I was reading, he offered me The Witch's Boy which was a childhood favourite of his. I took it home with me and put it on my bedside table where it sat for the next TWO YEARS! I finally picked it up this month because I was in the mood for a middle grade and I quite enjoyed most of it. The ending was really lovely and had me feeling all the feels. However I found

This was an enjoyable read. I don't go in for spoilers so if you like fantasy books with a twist on old fables/traditional fairytale's then you just might enjoy this book. If you read the books blurb, it outlines the gist of the story, about a Witch, who finds a very ugly baby abandoned in the forest. She names him Lump, after deliberating whether it would be wise to keep him or not. Then the story unfolds. Covering Lumps upbringing, the pitfalls of being a Witch raising a baby; with a Bear as a

Many fairy tales are woven throughout this book in a witty and cunning style. Important life issues are confronted that will leave you in laughter and tears. Magic is afoot, and mother nature is alive!! Loved this one!
