Witch & Wizard: The Fire

Great continuation of the series. These kids have been through Hell and back , and always rise to the occasion To overcome the problem.

Good book

Welcome to your worst nightmare,or maybe one you can't even imagine.A world where everything has changed.There are no books, no movies,no music, no free speech.Everyone under eighteen is distrusted.You and your family could be takenaway and imprisoned at any time.Your very being is expendable,even unwanted.What world is this? Where couldsomething like this have happened?That's hardly the point.The point is that it DID happen.It's happening to us right now.And if you don't stop and pay attention,it could happen in your world next.Recommended to:Young adults and adults who enjoy fantasy & magic. An edge of your seat book. There is some violence & death and a bit of nail biting action.My thoughts:Once again we are plunged into the world of Whit & Wisty Allgood, the Witch and Wizard. They are learning to control their powers and continuing to lead the resistance in the fight against The One Who is The One. They are fighting for the future of their world, while the New Order (N.O.) is brainwashing and torturing children to turn them into killing machines. The stakes are higher than ever and Whit & Wisty are in more danger than ever.This is a great series, lots of adventure & danger and twists & turns. Like all Patterson books, the chapters are short and fly by. I finished this book in one day.

I don't know how this whole "co-writing" works. I know that I used to love Tom Clancy so much until he joined as co-author with other writers. His books were so amazing alone. I always just assumed that he was paid for his name and popularity. Those books just weren't as good as his. However, I was weary about buying these at first because they were "co-written" and I really wasn't expecting much.I was wrong. My kids and I enjoyed this series a lot. I really enjoyed their world, their courage, and their human failings, fears, and genuineness. They were children, with children's feelings and children's reactions. It felt very honest to me. Kids need to know that they really can do anything. Whether their magic is magical, or sheer will and determination; they really do have endless possibilities.Thanks for letting us into their world.

Alright now, did anybody else realize that Wisty kept losing Byron? That was really starting to annoy me. I mean, he professes undying love and then she leaves him to be mauled or tortured or something. That is seriously cold. Yes, he was a conniving little bastard (pardon my French) but did he deserve that? Don't get me wrong, Wisty is my favorite character and all, but if a guy, no matter how weird, is prepared to sacrifice his life for you, you don't just leave him! Gaaaaaaah, I was actually feeling sorry for Byron by the time I finished this book. It can't be easy to love someone like Wisty. I am simply dreading reading the next book and watching poor faithful Byron die a slow, painful death of neglect. I guess I have to write something about whether or not I liked this book....I did. It was good, but the first book was better. I'm done, hope this was helpful, but I just wanted to rant for a while.....:) (p.s. if a certain social studies teacher is reading this, it is proof that a 14 yr old can write! What now, Bee-otch!)

Overall I really liked the book. It kept you on your toes and was really hard to put down as most of Patterson's books are."The Fire" is the third installment to James Patterson's Witch and Wizard series, and magical YA story about teenage brother and sister Whit and Wisty Allgood, the two people who have been prophecied to save the world from the evil One Who Is The One. The One has taken away everything we love, music, imagination, art, and magic has been outlawed. With their parents dead, their friends in the resistance dead or scattered, and Wisty sick with the blood plague, victory over The One seems like a pipe dream. The two must dig deep and hone their powers if they will ever be triumphant.

Last Christmas, I was given the second book in the series ( Witch & Wizard: The Gift ) without knowing anything about the series, and I loved it. So I bought the first book in the series ( Witch & Wizard ) and I thought that was great as well. So I thought I'd buy the third, and final, book.I'll start [the second paragraph] by saying this is just as good as the other two books - and that's high praise. One noticeable thing that makes this book different to many others is the short chapter length - they're usually a couple of pages long, and this means the books usually end with over 100 chapters. This can be seen as annoying or useful - I personally think it's great for remembering where you stopped reading (if you ever manage to put the book down!).As with the previous books, some chapters are written by Wisty, some by Whit (they're the main characters and are brother and sister). It can be annoying when many chapters (a.k.a. several pages) are written by one character, but otherwise it's ok.The plot itself is very, very good. The evil guy - The One - is portrayed evilly and very well. I'd never like to meet him! The detail is also fantastic - when little kids have their skin peeled off it makes you cringe.Basically, this book is a must read for anyone aged about 10-17. That's just a recommendation, though - people of all ages are likely to enjoy it at least a bit. If you've read the other books, make sure you read this one. If you haven't, then try and start with the other two, but if you don't, this will still introduce you to the series very well. Witch & Wizard: The GiftWitch & Wizard

I've always enjoyed James Patterson novels, reading some of them at quite a young age. I got a copy of the first of these novels for christmas about 3 years ago, as my friend got it free with a newspaper, on a deal with WHSmith. Knowing that I loved to read books, my friend passed it on. I think I read it in about 3 hours flat, maybe less, and immediately wanted the next book. And so when said book appeared on kindle, I broke into the gift voucher my brother had given me, and bought this. All I can say is that there's always something waiting for you when you turn the page. This slightly dystopian novel, makes you laugh, makes you cry, and shocks you right until the last page. It's one of the series that I re-read when I have a few hours on my hands. Money worth spending!

Love this series. Great books. Comfortable to hold and printed clearly

I love all James Patterson books for grown ups but this is written for children and is just as good. 3 books in the series [so far] [this the third] and each one gets better and better. Nearly read it one night it was so good and I would read them all again

This is the first book of an exciting , mystical, magical series. I bought this for my son, but ended up reading it, and i enjoyed it so much that i ended up ordering the rest of the set. Absolutely thrilling!
