Pratchett's take on the entertainment industry taking a leap into the Century of the Fruitbat on the Discworld.Mostly it's obvious puns and re-imagining Hollywood classics, but the characters are done well and it keeps moving at a good pace.Introduces a few characters who go on to larger roles in ot...
This is my least favorite Discworld book so far. I think this is mainly because I didn’t find the story appealing at all. The characters were ok, and I really liked Gaspode the talking dog, but I was bored by the story.At the beginning of the book, an old man living alone in a remote area called H...
A funny look at a magical society coming to grips with the "new" concept of motion picture films. The way the wizards react to seeing their first movie was laugh out loud funny in parts. Not quite as engaging as previous Pratchett novels, but still a hilarious read.
Hollywood comes to the Discworld.We have the introduction of Ponder Stibbons, Gaspode, and Archchancellor Ridcully. And the Bursar isn't mad yet. The Librarian, Dibbler, and Detritus play supporting roles, and we also see the other wizards (including Windle Poons), Death, the Patrician, and Nobby N...
Moving Pictures, Terry Pratchett's 10th venture onto Discworld, puts Hollywood and celebrity culture in it's sights as the Disc goes crazy for motion pictures. Pratchett blends a combination of his satirical Discworld humor with movie clichés, even reverse clichés, to create a fun book but not up to...
It feels like there's a line somewhere in the Discworld books. The earlier ones and the later ones feel different. They're always wild and often zany, but somehow the zaniness feels a little less smooth in some of the earlier books.Such it is here, as Discworld takes on the moving pictures, or "clic...
Moving Pictures by Terry Pratchett is a humorous tale about what happens when alchemists learn to make film and subsequently movies or "moving pictures". Then suddenly lots of people feel compelled to travel to the small town of Holy Wood and become a part of the moving pictures business. I'm sure i...
I wasn't under the weather this time, and again, I enjoyed, but didn't love it! Maybe I should just save the Terry Pratchetts for times when I'm sick. It's a weird quirk. Or maybe it's just that I love the Watch books, but haven't fallen for the rest of the universe quite so hard.At any rate, anothe...
I must admit that this was not one of my favourite of Pratchett's books but I suspect that if I end up reading it again, the score might go up and the review may change, however we are getting to a point where maybe the best of Pratchett's Discword content is behind him and he is exploring other ave...
The Discworld goes to the movies or Holy Wood as it is here, enjoyable satire of the early days of movies and being the Discworld things are never quite as they seem.Talking dogs and typecast trolls are some of the best characters in the book but i enjoyed Cut-me-own-throat Dibbler or CMOT Dibbler a...
