Salem Witch Trials is a straight forward uninteresting book.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Salem Witch Trials (How History is Invented) (Hardcover)
When I began reading Salem Witch Trials by Lori Lee Wilson I noticed that it was very factual. I kept reading and hoped it would come up with something interesting, but still nothing that interested me. All I got out of this book was a bland display of boring facts no different form a textbook. I would recommend this to anyone doing a report about the subject and needs nothing but info.

It is very useful if you are looking for a research book, but sometimes can stray of the topic.

Salem Witch Trials,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: The Salem Witch Trials (How History is Invented) (Hardcover)
Salem Witch Trials by Lori Lee Wilson is a fantastic book that informs yet entertains the reader. It has so many facts and real stories that are animated in your head. The court stories swim into you, making you wonder how so many women and men could be accused of such a thing. Their own children even testified against them! The history of witchcraft is such a fascinating thing, knowing that so long ago, people were worshipping so joyously and freely. I would recommend this book to everyone that wants to know more about our nation's history of the witch trials!
