I guess this would, or should be 'The Colour of Magic', but us Americans are stingy with our "U's". I thank you all here at BookLikes for getting me back to where I wanted to read this. No review from me on this book. I imagine anything that could be said about this book has been said many times...
I tried. I really did. But this book was not for me. It dragged. It had a lot of people and things happening and I felt like I needed to read a prequel book in order to understand everything that was going on. Maybe I just didn't get the funny parts of the book. I just felt lost through most of this...
I never know how to review the discworld books. They're sort of impossible to describe to anyone who hasn't already read them, and likewise, they're hard (for me) to review. Generally, having read a few of the later discworld books in a couple of the sub-series, I found this one to be the weake...
This is my first Pratchett, and I had so much fun. It was all the elements: the zanny world, all the stabs at our world's and several sub-types of fantasies usual conventions, Rincewind's quality of "Luck's *shhhhhhhh!* The Lady's plaything" and Twoflower's perfect embodiment of the "too oblivious...
... in the order in which they're appearing on my card (not the order in which they've read them). Soooo ... in this year's twist on RL doing its best trying to throw a spanner in the works of Halloween Bingo fun, I've been spending the better part of the month either sitting around in conference ...
This is an entertaining, enchanting, humorous and mind-boggling introduction to the Discworld. You can tell this is an early work from Pratchett - the writing isn't as good as newer works and the Discworld is still a work in progress. But this is still a lovely entertaining book. In this first D...
Series: Discworld #1 Although not exactly in line with the other Discworld series, this first book is still a fun satire of 1980s fantasy novels with lots of funny bits and quips. I enjoyed Nigel Planer's narration, and I'm happy I went the audio route this time. I'm counting this for the Relics...
The first time I read this book, I thought it was okay. Not the best Discworld, but okay. But each time I re-read it, I like it more. I mean, there is the Pern parody that is great. There is the kick ass daughter who inherits. There are the riffs on heroes. And yet, there is the fact that...
“Obviously you attack,” said Kring scornfully. “Why didn´t I think of that?” said Rincewind. “Could it be because they all have crossbows?” “You´re a defeatist.” “Defeatist! That´s because I´m going to be defeated!” “You´re your own worst enemy, Rincewind,” said the sword. I´m glad that I already...
This book was slow, dull and the least bit funny. I had to give up. It had unlikable characters that were wooden. I was expecting a richly described world, that is not what I got. I could not visualise any of the world that was being created. Unfortunately these books are not for me.
