Like all Vonnegut, I loved the writing, but like Cat’s Cradle (which this book reminded me of a lot, both in tone and plot) I struggled to really get into it.

I see now why this is considered the definitive text in the witch trials. Levack is clear on the outrageous nature of the crimes committed by those who hunted, tried and executed accused witches. He presents both hard facts and his theories and explanations in an extremely clear and intelligible and systematic way. This is a must-read for anyone interested in the witch trials and why they happened.

I love the writing style, but I kind of lost interest two thirds of the way through

This is brilliant I love it so much also I hope Alice Wu directs a film adaptation of it
