Review:Out of the 13 I've read I'll place it 9th on the list in terms of overall story. Certainly beats Masquerade and falls short of Small Gods, Going Postal, Monstrous Regiment or even Eric.
Maybe it's just because I'm not a fan of the Witches story group as much as I am the others but the plot seemed weak, the elves from beyond the stones seemed to have little purpose other than they "seem to come every so often" and the journey by the Wizards to Lancre was a sideshow many to prove somehow t...

Review:Sir Terry Pratchett's entire Disc World series is worth a read. By the time he wrote "The Truth," the tone had been shifting from straight-up comic (often snort-out-loud) fantasy to include political and social commentary. I read through the entire series in order of publication and plan to start all over again some time soon. Read more
Review:This book is Terry Pratchett at the top of his game. One of my favourite Disc world novels. Pratchett manages to blend fantasy, science and social commentary with ease, I still laugh out loud at the jokes, even though I've read the book 5 or 6 times. Read more
Review:I was happy to see the wizards back in action in this always entertaining Discworld series. I have always thought the wizards (along with the witches) are among the funniest characters. Pratchett has crafted an interesting story set in the land-down-under, a story about gods and creation and the blending of past and present, as Rincewind tries to save the continent from a massive drought. As usual, Rincewind falls into things (literally and figuratively), but despite the familiar Rincewind an... Read more
Review:This cookbook comes full of recipes and Terry Pratchett's charm. The recipes are easy to follow and create great food. The stories and sidebars are great too. Anyone needing to have a little fun in the kitchen should order this book. Anyone who has read any Terry Pratchett should order this cookbook! Great gift! Read more
Review:Отличная книжка. Читается легко и интересно. Специфичный пратчетовский юмор как всегда на высоте и ни с чем не сравнится. Определенно стоит своих денег. Read more
Review:Magrat Garlick has left witching to become Queen of Lancre, leaving only Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg, which they both know won't work; two witches is an argument, while three (Maiden, Mother, and Crone) allows one of them to make peace between the other two. The best candidate for the No. 3 position is Agnes Nitt, whose considerable bulk has limited her love life in any case -- but Agnes has gone off to Ankh-Morpork to try to make it with her extraordinary singing voice. (She can sing harmon... Read more
Review:Death is my favorite character in the disc world, and this book is one of the best the series. Reaper Man gives you a chance to see just how much love and appreciation Death has for life. Not to mention this is where we are introduced to Death of Rats, <3! Read more
Review:The Discworld grows on you. After reading a dozen or so of Pratchett's marvelous stories about Life, the Universe, and Everything (so to speak), you've gotten to understand Unseen University, and the Librarian, and why you can walk across the Ankh River, and the Patrician's point of view (Sergeant Colon's as well), and the necessity of Death, and why the Mended Drum never closes. More than that, events in the author's world tell you a great deal about our own. This time around, it's the importan... Read more
Review:I've read about a dozen of the Discworld books and this is my least favorite. I had come to expect great books from Terry Pratchett and this one was disappointing. It was OK, but it was lacking much of the humor of the other books. Read more
