A Young Witch's Life, Jan 19 2000
By Anita - Published on Amazon.com
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!)

Interesting, but not great, May 12 2012
By Steven E. Wedel "Author" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Anita (Hardcover)
Not what I was expecting. I thought I was in for a novel, but what I got instead was a chronological series of stories about the young witch Anita and her cranky old granny. Some of the stories were better than others, so it was a bit uneven. It was an enjoyable read, but not one I plan to revisit. If you like modern teen stories about witches etc., this will show you how it was done old-school.

WONDERFUL!, April 9 2012
By R. Whitman "Me" - Published on Amazon.com
This is a review of the audio version.I listened to this via the Neil Gaiman collection from audible. The book contains stories of a teen/young woman witch as she finds herself in the world. I starts before she's an official witch and continues on, which story building a bit on her character and world.
She's as inquisitive as a little kitten and as lust as ... well, you know. But she has a good, good heart. She's really cute. XD The witches world, set in England, is fabulous. The Grannie is AWESOME too. I wish there was more of her to go around.
The author has a way of crafting short stories around a central plot that is amazing. It's not so much in evidence with this book as with Pavane, but it's still amazing. The reader is fabulous too. She really brings out the world.
Very good book to read or listen to. I recommend it.
Listmania!
