This is actually 3-1/2 stars...

Terry Pratchett is always fun, though I admit to being a little disappointed with this one. It's not the author's fault, though, that I seem to prefer the stories that take place in Ankh-Morpork and involve the Night Watch. They're so much funnier than his witches, though I did enjoy Nanny Ogg. Oh, and DEATH is hardly in this one, and I missed him, too.

T'was an okay read, although in my opinion not as strong as some of the other books. The Witches in general, I feel, serve as poor main characters (at least in the two I've read so far). Reading books revolving around them feels more like a chore to get to the next book involving someone else than anything else.
That said, there are many good bits, like in any Pratchett novel. The Shakespeare jokes are appreciated, both the obvious and subtle. Tomjon is likable, as is his fathers' ghost, but I feel that the Witches themselves are more annoying than anything else.

This is the sixth book in the Discworld series, but a good place to start if you haven't read any others. It introduces the small mountaintop kingdom of Lancre and the witches, wonderful characters who will continue to feature in several subsequent Discworld books.

Like all Pratchett's books there are levels on levels on levels of jokes, and those familiar with Shakespeare's plays (especially Macbeth) will find lots of in-jokes and references, while those who are not will not enjoy the book any the less for not catching every allusion.

The book introduces the Discworld's version of witchcraft, while taking a sharp and irreverent look at theatre, royalty, fairy tales, human nature, and the nature of destiny itself, as always in an extremely irreverent and hilarious way.
