Rendition In Favor Of Books Witch & Wizard (Witch & Wizard #1)
The world is changing—the government has seized control of every aspect of society, and now kids are disappearing. For fifteen-year-old Wisty and her older brother Whit, life turns upside-down when they are hauled out of bed one night, separated from their parents, and thrown into a secret compound for no reason they can comprehend. The new government is clearly trying to suppress Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Being a Normal Teenager.Imprisoned together and condemned to death, Wisty and Whit begin exhibiting strange abilities and powers they never dreamed of. Maybe there is a reason they were singled out. Can this newly discovered witch and wizard master their skills in time to save themselves, their parents—and maybe the world?

Ughhhh.... Patterson. No!!!!I did not like this book.No way, no how. :(What is worse than a flat, static main character? TWO flat, static main characters. To take it one, horrible step further, have these characters narrate their own story in short, choppy chapters. This book seems almost like a first draft or maybe even a detailed outline for the idea of a book. There is very little detail or descriptive writing. For example, on pg. 161: "You got your friends out!" the girl said, then hugged Celia, the way Half-lights hug. Hard to describe." (Really James
I don't know whats worse- this book, or the fact that I read it.I hated practically everything about this novel. The characters were so off; Whit and Whisty were too close of names anyway, and it just became confusing. Switching between the two characters didn't have the desired effect I know Patterson had been going for. I found the two annoying.Also, I felt it was too scatered. There wasn't enough information about what was happening at that moment, it changed too quickly.The attempt at
I read the whole thing, and really didn't care for it. I don't plan on continuing the series. I felt like maybe because he was writing it as YA that he dumbed it down a lot. It seemed to be very simplified and childish. I really was not able to connect with any of the characters or the story at all.
I loved the book! The novel was greatly illustrated, with vocabulary words, which would help readers understand the characters perspective and personality. The genre of this book was science-fiction. It was filled with magic, creatures, and Intrigue. I would recommend this book to ages, ten through one-hundred. Unlike a lot of novels, this book was a mix between, Harry Potter, and The Hunger Games. This novel represented true friendship, and teamwork between the characters. It was full of
Here are the issues I take with this book in no particular order of importance:1. Note to James Patterson: Harry Potter has already been done. No reason to try and recreate it with less likable characters. Moving on...2. Every one of these characters annoyed me. Maybe with exception to the boy who was turned into a weasel. He didn't bother me. And to be honest, halfway through the book, I could see why he wanted to turn these obnoxious siblings into the authorities for possible execution. I'm
This is the first book that I've read and that I couldn't finish without skimming over most of it. The writing was so, so bad, the characters were so stupid and made all the wrong decision and the dialogue was so cheesy. I've been searching for at least one thing that I liked about the book, but I failed miserably. I quite like James Patterson's books, but I don't know what happened in this one. This might possibly be the worst book that I've read so far, and that really is saying something.
