This was a good story in itself - It just had a few derogatory comments about women, which I decided to ignore due to the fact this was written in 1965. However, the author also thought that witches were evil - misguided soul that she is!

I'd really hoped that one of the characters wasn't going to make it, but nope, the big blowhard survived.

Starts out promising, but drags on. There are some fun spooky parts, but the villain is so obvious and the main character does not see it! Also, not enough witches.

I liked this book - it is an older view of things...copyright is in 60's. However with the more seemingly simpler writting I found myself scared by what I myself was creating...which is something a writter should work at...making the reader truly get into the story enough to create what happens next
