I really didn't enjoy "Dorrie and the blue witch" as much as I thought I would. The story seemed to drag on and lacked any real excitement. The characters were poorly developed, and I found it hard to connect with any of them. The magical elements felt forced and didn't add much to the overall plot. Additionally, the writing style was quite simplistic and didn't have any depth or complexity. Overall, I found "Dorrie and the blue witch" to be a disappointing read.

2. Mike - 1/5

I couldn't finish "Dorrie and the blue witch" because I found it to be incredibly boring. The story lacked any real substance and the pacing was incredibly slow. The characters were one-dimensional and I had no interest in what happened to them. The dialogue felt forced and unnatural, and I found myself rolling my eyes at some of the interactions. I was hoping for an exciting magical adventure, but this book just didn't deliver. I would not recommend "Dorrie and the blue witch" to anyone looking for an engaging read.

3. Sarah - 3/5

I had high expectations for "Dorrie and the blue witch" but unfortunately, it fell short for me. The storyline felt a bit cliché and predictable, and I found myself losing interest halfway through the book. The characters were average at best, and I didn't feel invested in their journey. The writing style was decent, but it didn't make up for the lackluster plot. While "Dorrie and the blue witch" had its moments, overall, it didn't leave a lasting impression on me.

4. Kevin - 2/5

"Dorrie and the blue witch" was a disappointment for me. The plot was slow-moving and lacked any real excitement. The main character, Dorrie, was quite annoying and I found it hard to root for her. The magical elements felt underdeveloped and didn't add much depth to the story. The pacing was inconsistent, with some parts dragging on while others felt rushed. Ultimately, "Dorrie and the blue witch" didn't capture my attention and I wouldn't recommend it to others.
