Recommended for: Anyone who deals with peer pressure
Read from September 18 to 20, 2010

This book pleasantly surprised me. The premise sounded great, but, well, I judge books by their covers, and this one looked extremely disappointing.

I didn't really care for the format of the chapters. It made for fast reading, which was nice, but the almost sonnet-esque style wasn't easy on my eyes. I loved that the story was told from the different girls' points of view. That was nice.

I have a serious love for all things Salem Witch Trial. This book was pretty awesome. Stephanie Hemphill did for peer pressure what Arthur Miller did for the Mcarthy hearings. It's a different take on the trials, but it's beautifully done.

Only one of the girls is sympathetic. The other two just made me want to slap them and scream "WITCH! HANG HER!"

A really enjoyable read, and seriously recommendable for teens (or adults, for that matter) who have to deal with peer pressure.
