As I'm rereading my favorite books from childhood, I find myself having to reset my rating system. After reading The Satanic Mill, for instance, I see that some other books I noted as 5 stars are really 4, and some 4 stars are really 3.This book is flat out good. For a book about good and evil it's free of saccahrine and moralizing. Economically written and tightly plotted, there aren't anvils falling on your head indicating where the story is going. And somehow the lack of flowery descriptionThis is basically a YA novel, but from about 30 years before that term existed. It is a dark tale about a young miller's apprentice and his cohorts, who are taught dark magic by the miller, based on an ancient Sorbian folk tale. There's also a love story in there, though most of it happens more from a distance.
I read Krabat in the original German, which is why it took me a few weeks to get through it. Krabat is a young beggar boy whose dreams lead him to become a student at a mysterious mill. He soon learns the mill is actually a school of black magic, but there are deadly things taking place behind the scenes and he must use his wits and new magical skills to save his life.This was a very enjoyable and engaging story and my interest was held from start to finish. There are translations available, and
Excuse me for sounding smug, but I have managed to read a book in German. A real book, 250 pages long with no pictures. And, unlike earlier attempts, I did not cheat in any way: there was no accompanying parallel text, I didn't look anything up in a dictionary and I hadn't previously read it in another language. There is, to say the least, ample room left for improvement; but based on previous experience with learning languages, I think I've now reached the point where I can continue to progress

Pleasently surprised by this one! I remember friends who had to read it in school and hated it - so my expectations were not too high. I ended up disappointed when it ended and wished for a second one! Its a children book, but well written with interesting characters, a nice plot and allways interesting.
Krabat has dreams of a near-by mill. The pull is too strong and he ends up going there. The Master takes him in and he becomes that needed twelfth to keep the mill going. That mill is not just a mill though. On Fridays they are taught the black arts by the master.I love folk/fairy tales and expected to be crazy over this book. I don't know if it was my mood at the time of reading or something for me being lost in the translation, but it was just an okay book. I finished it last night and it's
