Witch and Wizard
James Patterson
9/10
This is much better than my last read, thankfully. It was really interesting and has an awesome storyline. I was happy to jump right into a fast paced, fantasy story that had almost no deep meaning, no complicated relationships, no BLOODY 20 PAGE BIOGRAPHY'S OF CHARACTERS WHO AREN'T REALLY IMPORTANT! it was just a good clean read and for that it got a higher review than it would have had I read it just after 'Five Greatest Warriors' for example.
One of the things that annoyed me was the system of government that the bad guys use. The leader is called "The One Who Is The One" then there's "The One Who Judges" and "The One Who Enforces" it all become very annoying but thankfully, that's the point and the main character makes fun of them at regular intervals with hilarious results. The New Order has also banned books, music and anything else that could possible be counted as creative, it is a world of science.
Regardless I really liked it. It is a very Sci-Fi/Fantasy heavy storyline so if your not really into that sort of thing then maybe give it a miss. One thing that I found was a nice perk was that there are a few words, not too many, that looked like they were made up for the book. they gave it a sense of being its own story and gave the world an edge of realism. As a tribute I wall right the last paragraph with some of these words.
This is not a cantrip and I'm no naysayer, this book is real pukka. So whether your a curve, straight and narrow or an Erlenmeyer, like me, get all your friends, meet at the nearest Dickensian Mingus and get the book. Then read it in class and get a detention. Your book will also be burned by order of The One Who Is The One.
