Really interesting and really detailed book on the Salem witch trials. I learned a lot from this and would recommend to anyone interested in hearing more of the behind the scenes beyond just the sensationalist headlines.

I did read this via audiobook which I think was not the way to go. It was so dense with so many people involved (a lot of them with similar names) and covered such a wide frame of time, that I found myself getting lost or not following certain bits. I also didn't love the narrator's dramatization. Weird thing, but I don't really want shock and awe to be added into the narrating of a book like this. I'd kind of prefer it a little drier.

I think overall I'm probably just not interested enough in the Salem witch trials for a book this long and dense to be of much interest to me. I was vaguely curious, but I did get bored some. If you're more interested than me, you'll probably enjoy it more, but it was worth the read.
