I read this with my teenage son and it says much for the late Pratchett's ability to speak to a broad audience that this story was immediately hailed as "the best book ever....well so far". So what was it that resonated so notably with that most challenging of all readers - the adolescent male? Clea...
2016 Re-read for Sci Fi/Fantasy book club.Seriously, does anyone else want to kick the Nobel Prize committee for not giving Pratchett the award? I wish this novel had been around when I was a kid.older reviewPhilip Pullman is known, perhaps infamously, for His Dark Materials trilogy, which has been ...
It was...interesting. In an alternate universe, a plague ravages the known world, and leaves a duke who was 139th in line for accession King of England. Of course, he doesn't realize this because... The heroine - a young girl cursed with the name Ermintrude is off on adventure at her father's be...

I have read everything Terry Pratchett has written(except for The Carpet People,Dark Side of the Sun & the last 2 in the Johnny series),even Where's my Cow! I love him and love the discworld books but I have to say this may be one of my all time favorite books by him and that's saying alot!! The s...
I'm about half way through and am truly thrilled by this one. Pratchett is brilliant at writing how people think about things, and think their way through things, and this story, focused on two young people in a catastrophe, is all about thinking their way through.***2008 November 2Lovely. A little ...
This was so much fun while also being thought-provoking. It's got all of Pratchett's twisty bits of humor but surrounding an Caruso-esque adventure tale.I don't think there's an age limit for this story. I'd recommend it to a 12-year-old as soon as a 60-year-old, male or female. It's pro-science whi...
I finally finished Terry Pratchett’s Nation yesterday. I’d been interuppted by a number of things, including the fact that I was attending the My Life in Christ Youth Conference all last week, which cut out any reading I might have otherwise done. I liked Nation, though in many ways I thought France...
I love parallel universes. I love Terry Pratchett. This book is more serious and less funny than the Discworld series, but the way it tackles religion, science, belief and racial stereotypes makes up for that. I would recommend it to anyone with an open mind and I wish those with closed minds would ...
