A Young Witch's Life,
By Anita (Hammond, LA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Anita (Hardcover)
I am very pleased to see this book in print again! My original Ace paperback which I bought in a second-hand bookstore is all but fallen to pieces I have read and re-read it so many times. I admit I first bought it because of the main character's name being the same as my own but I kept the book because of how much I enjoyed it. I think any one who enjoys reading "Urban Fantasy" (books like Emma Bull's Finder or Mercedes Lackey's Serrated Edge series) will enjoy this book also but this book is much lighter-hearted than most urban fantasy books. Perhaps some readers will see this as a flaw: Anita, alas, is out to have fun rather than save the world. Perhaps another flaw some readers might object to is that the book seems to be a collection of short stories which were assembled into a novel. I think the book was put together rather skillfully, myself, as it didn't detract from my reading of it. Anita is a young girl who also happens to be a witch. Like most young girls she is interested in boys and like most young girls her pursuit of boys gets her into all sorts of wonderful misadventures. Add her magic to the mix and almost anything can and does happen. Now, add to this brew Anita's Granny Thompson and her Granny's archrival Aggie Everett and you have the making's of a fine night's read. I just wish Mr. Roberts would write some more stories about Anita. (Sigh!)
