“This book is just drama from the 1600's. Not something you'd really expect and a little different then what happens in today's world, but if you'd like to read about the Salem witchcraft trials and men committing adultery, you've found the right book!”

    “We had to read this book last year for English class so I don't think this book should be counted haha. Although it is a good book and somewhat entertaining, I felt the end of this book kinda fell out of place. The author, in my opinion, starts the book off very strong by catching your attention, but the end of the book falls apart. Why don't you start reading books were not assigned to read? HAHA”
