The “Glitch of a Witch” book – I’ll admit – threw me for a loop at first. I did not expect the book to rhyme – and rhyme it does. It actually rhymes all the way through – from page one to page end (roughly 76 pages or so), but that is okay! Don’t let it deter you from picking this book up. The fact that it rhymes like it does was actually really refreshing and made the book REALLY fun to read.Keep in mind, the book is a rhyming story – but the book isn’t written for kids. There’s a bit of swearing in the book, just to give you a heads up, so if you want to read it to some younger ones, I suppose you could – I would skip the curse words though, and then it might be ok to read to them. However, again – feel free to enjoy the book yourself. A fair warning though, you’ll probably catch yourself running around the house rhyming to yourself! Once I was done with the book, nearly everything I said came out in a rhyme for most of the afternoon, and my wife and son started to wonder what had happened to me. It’s also safe to say that my wife was then intrigued enough to want to read “Glitch of a Witch” also – and once she read it, she was running around rhyming too. She loved it and said the same thing I did: It’s a very refreshing read. Sort of like a “guilty pleasure!” Was the way that she put it.As far as the story itself goes, it’s also pretty fun. Pat Hatt’s books always catch my attention – there’s always so much imagination in the stories, and I wonder how come I can’t think that far out! If you remember when you were a kid, your mind – in its bright and early stages – probably went all over the map. There were no boundaries and anything – literally anything – could happen. Patt’s mind does just this, and it shows in this book. I absolutely love it. The rhyming was so fun and the story was awesome. The poor heroes seemed to run into all sorts of nastiness – witches, wailing zombies, a worm queen (yep!) and even a naked ninja wannabe (Yes, a naked ninja wannabe! – now you want to read it just because of that, I know it.) And it kept me on the edge of my seat until I was done with the story. I had to find out how our dear heroes fared before I could put the book down, you know! I wasn’t sure if they would make it to the end of the story – and that’s rare: normally, you just know the hero will make it through the book, but with Patt’s books, sometimes you start to literally wonder if that will happen.Again, the book is amazing – The rhyming is awesome, pick it up and settle down in a chair and let yourself go. You’ll feel like a young buck again and you’ll love it!
