mrogows 's review for:
The Witches: Salem, 1692
by Stacy Schiff
I'm really fascinated by the Salem Witch Trials of the 1690s and try to do as much research on the subject as possible. This ranges from Fiction to Non-fiction, and finding a good non-fiction account of this is hard.
My search continues as this was a slog to get through.
My main issue with this is the language and narrative flow. It reads more like an extended newspaper article than a book. The flow was much too choppy and I just couldn't get into the book.
It was interesting to get an in-depth account of what occurred in the 1690s surrounding the trails, but it wasn't enough to justify the length. I felt this book being more of a chore than a rewarding process.
