5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Read, 15 Jun 2006
By Natalie Oughton "Natalie" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Whitby Witches (Whitby Witches S.) (Paperback)
This book is fantastic, well the whole trilogy is amazing. I read the trilogy first about 5 years ago but recently reread them, only i realised i didn't own the last book and had an agonising wait while it arrived from amazon!

This series is really addictive. It was very different to anything i had ever come across before. Definately new and fresh. The descriptions are wonderfully true to whitby and along with Dracula it is a must for Whitby residents and holidayers.

The Aufwaders are a wonderful group of characters and it's worth reading the books to understand what i'm talking about. This book is really easy to get into and really addictive once you do.

1.0 out of 5 stars Brilliantly evil, 12 Nov 2001
This review is from: The Whitby Witches (The Whitby Witches) (Audio Cassette)
Amazing,fantasic,intriguing,horrifying,mysterious with loads of suspense. Good and evil fight again in this terrific book. There are loads of individual plots that all come together. An inspired book. Brilliant wherever you are, but if you think you can stand the horror, read it in Whitby

5.0 out of 5 stars Every child should read this book, 27 Jan 2009
By H. Speight "Helen" (Yorkshire) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I first read this when I was about 10 and I've re read the whole trilogy loads of times since then. This book is still the best of the three, I still find myself looking for the aufwaders everytime I go the Whitby.

The book has a couple of themes..growing up, annoying brothers, coping with changes which most older children can identify with, but the thing that sticks with you most when your young is the big black dog and the witches.

The pictures in the book are great too. This is one of the only books I haven't grown out of, its still on the shelf with the hobbit and the Narnia books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Breath-taking ,amazing at the talent Robin Jarvis has
Very unique, brillant on how he hypnotisies people in to carry on reading. The Whitby Witches is a tale of evil versus good and it must of taken Mr Jarvis ages to plan the plot.
