I thought this book was pretty good! I am from Massachusetts and of course have heard a lot about the Salem witch trials. personally I think this is the best remake of The Crucible. with the other reviews that I have read on this book I have found that most of them were teenagers just like me who either read The Crucible or were reading it for English class.:) I thought this book was a little confusing at times but it could be a quick read if you can read old English literature.
