Witches Abroad

Book Review by: Esmi    

Original Author: Terry Pratchett
Run to your basements, the witches are going abroad. Three of them. And really, really mean cat.
Witches Abroad is a
story about stories. About how they can suck people and things into them. Stories don't really care weather the girl wants to marry a prince, or what do mice think about being turned into horses. The stories have a life of their own, and people don't really matter, they are there merely to play their part. They have to play their part. Or at least they had to, until the witches came along. Three of them. And a really, really mean cat.
If you thought that witches just eat small children and make poisonous apples you were very, very, very wrong. They do far more terrible things than that. They stare at you. And, sometimes, they smile. And, sometimes, if you are really really unlucky, they even sing the hedgehog song.
After reading this book you will never look at fairy tales the same way. And if you give this book a second look, and a third thought, you may even start to wonder which story sucked you up, and would you be happier if you tried to break its spell, and step out of it.
