Eric is a teenager who is summoning demon. And what he got is Rincewind who happened to be there when the portal open. Eric demanded three wishes. Money, power, woman, the usual. Of course, Rincewind has no magical power to grand wishes. But the demon who is into wishes seems to be using Ri...

This was a very short book (Novella? Bookella?) in the Discworld universe, featuring Rincewind. My Kindle edition said it was 149 pages, and it felt even shorter. Apparently it was originally published with illustrations, but I read a non-illustrated version. People had told me the illustrations ...

Another geniusly work of Pratchett. The next in the story of Rincewind the wizard, who, again, is dealing with other people's adventures that became his misadventures. We have some familiar characters like Rincewind itself, The Luggage and Death. But there are other new, like the second protagonist ...

Another hilarious entry in Discworld by one of the masters of satire. Rincewind finds himself accidentally traveling through time and visits a rather humorous version of Hell. Again, I found myself laughing out loud while reading this.

Rincewind returns to the Disc, unfortunately an inept teenage demonologist named Eric has conjured him from dimen...

Eric by Terry Pratchett is about a young boy who attempts to summon a demon to grant him wishes, but instead of a demon, Rincewind, an inept wizard shows up inside the magic circle. Much to Rincewind's surprise he finds that even though he is not a demon, because he was summoned as one, he has the p...

I'm sorry. I've tried but I just can't stand Rincewind. I love luggage though. I did like the plot of the book but I wish it hadn't been with him.

Eric seems to be that Discworld book that was written after Guards, Guards and before Moving Pictures that nobody ever mentions. In fact having a glance over the comments on Goodreads it seems that it is not all that liked, and when I asked my friend who loves anything that Terry Pratchett writes, h...

Eric is one of the strangest of the Discworld books, it feels like the equivalent of a paint-by-numbers set. All the ingredients are there for a Discworld book it just doesn't quite work for me.The section in hell is great, with Health & Safety procedures applied but apart from that it's pretty for...
