The Witches
by Roald Dahl
While The Witches has all of the charm and cleverness of Dahl's other novels, it's just not my favorite. Matilda is still my favorite, followed by The BFG and James and the Giant Peach. I think it's because of the lack of a well-rounded cast of characters. The villainy of the witches were explained by their past deeds and their one big plan but I wanted to know more about the witches individually and as a group. There also weren't as many supporting characters for the main character to interact with.
This book has one of my favorite all time quotes: "It doesn't matter who you are or what you look like so long as somebody loves you." The bond between the boy and his grandmother is well-developed throughout the story but it is most importantly found in this quote. Even though the boy is changed by the end of the book, his grandmother still loves him and together they plan to take out all the witches of the world.
