Customer Reviews

*an incredible written story that'll touch everyone's heart*

I loved the book, WITCH, because it was very well written & an unbelievable tale. This is one of PIKE's best. In this book I really felt like I was Julia, just like Sita in The Last Vampire series. Julia doesn't kick [rear] as good as Sita, but she does have some incredible powers. There's so much to this story to even explain. I did enjoy the ending, even though it was sad. Another thing I love about PIKE is that he makes death seem not as final as it's cracked up to be. He opens his readers up to a new world with his writings. A world where anything is possible & death is only a new begining. He's got to be my favorite writer, even though plenty of people say this...I am speaking the truth. He's the only author I know who has so many page-turners & none alike. He has a talent that every 1 of his readers should cherish, I do envy PIKE for this. But like I said WITCH had an extroadinary ending. I loved every word of it! But I don't want to spoil any of it! maybe some people do, but I don't. I hate when reviewers tell about the story....it's wrong! Let them experience themselves! Especially WITCH, you'd be too kunfused {LOL} to understand the story. SO read it! if u don't then it's your own damn fault for not listening to me or the above reviews. Have fun reading it, I sure did.

One of Pikes Best

I have read a lot of books by Pike and they have all been wonderful, yet I must say that 'Witch' is the best I've ever read. I loved the story line and the plot, even the tragity at the end. I related with the Character, Julia, who had lost her mother and I felt Julia's pain. I don't know if Pike had ever lost someone close to him but he writes as if he himself had been through the tragity. I never cry at movies or anywhere else but when ever I read this book or any book by him I can't stop. Seeing the future was hard for Julia but she found out that no matter what you see or what happeneds, you can't change what is meant to happen because everything happens for a reason. This book means a lot to me and I will never forget the story.

Witch "Christopher Pike"

A great reading adventure. The outcome of reading the book is almost 'magical'. Julia, a seventeen year old 'good witch' has learned through her mother, that she has great gifts to help the world. The journey is enlightening. One thing her mother told her never to do is look into a pond with the moonlight shining upon it. She's intrigued by this statement and gets trapped into seeing the future because of it. The story line picks up after this vision and what she does to stop it, the actions from all her friends and the conclusion. Pike, always goes into depth of the characters. You will feel as though you know them. You will feel for them. Intriguing and magical, I give this book a high rating and would recommend to most young adults.

Another great book by Pike

Witch is a great book. Somehow, Pike gets you to fall in love with his characters, feel their pain, cry when they cry. This terrific book is right up there with Remember Me and the Starlight Crystal. Go get a copy of it now!
