Witch & Wizard | 
so-soI was not fond of this book. Too childish for me. For smart kids they didn't act like it. It was part of my #Scarathlon2022 TBR list @StayCurious #TeamMonsterMash. This one gave me 250 word for the #wordsearch for #Scarathlon2022.Also there were some witches #witchathon @mdm139 and it was a little spooky #spookoween2022 @TheSpineView
Starting reading this with a student I‘m tutoring. The beginning sounds a lot like The Nazi invasion of Poland, in this book so far they are round up accused witches instead of Jewish people. Their decrees are like the Nuremberg laws.
When you‘re making sure all books have a genre label and you happen upon the section that contains your not-so-favorite author and his not-so-great series (in your opinion), you take a deep breath and remind yourself that they are still books and you love books and you will take care of them anyway. 😬😪
pickThis was a fast fun book! Patterson never disappoints me! On to book 2!

This book was a quick, fun read. However, because it was so quick, Patterson didn't take enough time to really build the world around these characters. And, even though the chapters switched between a brother and sister, it was almost impossible to tell which sibling was narrating without checking the name at the beginning of the chapter. Male and female characters should be easy to tell apart, not just basically the same character.
so-soI liked the premise, but the juvenile writing really hurt this one in my opinion. James Patterson should not write YA fiction if he thinks dumbing it down will make it appeal more to teens. It was a quick read, so I read it all in a day. I can‘t decide if I want to continue with the series or not, so I think I‘ll let the next book help me decide.

This YA series by Patterson is one of my favorites by him. 🙂❤️
This book is supposed to be for kids but i just love the story its magic and war and power and survival and so many other things.
Read it last year and enjoyed it.
The sequel to this books is called The Gift.
so-soWitch and Wizard is interesting so far! Fast-paced, although the dialogue is a bit stiff.
panThis book received strong reviews, so I thought, what the heck!
I should have gone with my gut. As a humble, unpublished reader, I'm pretty reticent about making bad reviews, but this book! The plot was lame, the characters were vapid, and the writing? 💩
Patterson is the worst kind of young adult author. Someone should tell him that kids are people too!
Overdrive is being a jerk!!
My library account (top) says W&W is good for another 14 days.
My Overdrive app (bottom) says expired.
I've deleted the book as well as the app and still expired. This is way too work for a super annoying book to finish reading to my son.
(The main annoyance is the stupidly short chapters, not really the storyline).
The heck with it! Time to move on to Sigler…
so-soI'm honestly not enjoying this series much. It seems like Patterson is a bit full of himself at this point and has an "anything goes since I'm a famous author" kind of attitude, or it might just be that he doesn't try as hard when it's a coauthored book. The concept is great, but not conveyed well.
