The Sorcerer's Apprentice

Title: The Last Apprentice: Revenge of the Witch

Rating/Review:
Language (1 being clean, 10 being cuss-a-thon) - 1, I don't recall there being any cussing

Morality (1 being righteous, 10 being hethanistic) - 1, there was no "weirdness" in this respect.

Violence (1 being clean, 10 being a blood bath) - 11, this was probably the equivalent of an R-rated horror movie put to paper. There were scenes of a witch eating cakes made out of blood, and a scene where all of a child's blood was graphically sucked out through his finger.

Theme (1 being righteous, 10 being satanic) - 9, although the main character and his teacher show witchcraft to be a bad thing, they still use some magic, and don't see ALL witchcraft to be evil. There are several witches performing rituals, and a witch (instead of a demon) possession scene -- all of which are VERY graphic!

Over-all interest and read-ability (1 being terrible, 10 being amazing) - 4, the actual story was interesting, but the sheer graphicness, and abounding witchcraft and magic absolutely ruined it for me. I had to practically force myself to finish, and promised myself to never read anything like that again!

Plot Summary: The seventh son of a seventh son decides to become the apprentice of a Spook (someone who deals with magical creatures). He meets a girl who tricks him into freeing a witch, and must save his family (and the town) from being slaughtered by her.

"Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things."
