This book was a bit wordy; however, this book was so good. I was required to read it in my American History class. It began a bit slow, but once she began telling about the history of the trials I could actually picture myself there. The Salem Witch Trials is a part of our history we'd rather forget, but is very interesting to learn about all at the same time. Very good piece of work to read.

So good. Norton has a really good grasp of Puritan thought and her research is so solid. I want to read everything she's written now.

I enjoyed this book despite its assigned nature. The idea that the wars against the Native Americans played a significant role in the Salem Witch Trials was a novel one for me, and I hadn't thought of it that way. The concept that the first few girls at least were not faking their issues was intriguing, as well. Overall, the writing style was a bit dry, but it wasn't that difficult a read.
