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:Terry Pratchett books are usually very easy to read, partly because they're not written to be especially complicated and partly because they draw the reader in. His characters are realistic and even the non humans are very human.
If you're in the military, I highly recommend reading this book of his in particular. It shows who's really in charge in most units (senior enlisted), who knows what's going on, and that special relationship you can only really experience with your fellow soldier... Read more
Review:Even though these stories were written in Sir Terry Pratchett's younger years, they show the talent and hallmarks of his writing style (voice), sense of humour and fertile imagination.
The illustrations accompanying the stories are of the entertaining 'quick scratch cartoon' type and he even plays with the fonts in the stories. 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:I'm re-reading the Discworld series and each one gets better as I go along. Terry Pratchett has created such a rich tapestry of imaginative, witty, and humorous prose that I just can't stop reading them! 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:Terry Pratchett is at his best in this book. As a long time Terry Pratchett fan I enjoy the word pictures he creates. His characters are strong and I believe I would enjoy meeting them in this part of the multiverse. This story sees Sam, Sybil and young Sam holidaying in the countryside at the old Ramkin Estate and even Wilikins comes along for the ride. Sam has to deal with honest country folk, goblins and whirling maids then return home in time to save Fred from a mysterious fate. Read more
