A review by hirajaleel
Hour of the Witch by Chris Bohjalian

3.0

The book is well-researched and the misogyny is truly relatable, even in the 21st century. However, the Hour of the Witch is unnecessarily long, with not one but TWO courtroom dramas playing out in painstaking detail down to the smallest, most irrelevant witness testimony, which did get very trying (pun intended). The climax, where our protagonist gets some form of vindication, felt very rushed after having sat through the long-winded plot leading up to it. 3/5
