A Discovery of Witchesby Deborah Harkness |
Jodi Roberts (04/01/12): What an enjoyable book! It wasn't long before
this became an "I can't put it down" type of book. Okay, there were areas that could stand
some improvement and it certainly isn't perfect. However, overall, it was quite fun. One
might consider this a grown-up version of "Twilight," and there will most certainly be
comparisons. Don't make that mistake, as this story is far more complex, more than
teenage heart pounding angst. The worst part about finishing, the second of the
trilogy has not been released! Enjoy the references to alchemy and other historical
literature, and, above all, have fun!

Wanda Cohen: I enjoyed this book. It was easy to read even though it contains
quotes from Alchemy texts and poetic verses that require reading through more than once. The story itself is
not your typical Witch, Vampire, Daemon tale. It's more intricate and more compelling. I hope there is a sequel
as it ends during one of the most exciting part.
I recommend this book. I couldn't put it down. It isn't up there with The Help or Water For Elephants but it's
still entertaining and enjoyable
