I wasn't lucky enough to see the Exhibition but this is a great book about the world of Pratchett. The book includes timelines which detail not only Pratchett's life but also awards and first meetings with people he worked with.The illustrations are beautiful and you get a better sense of Pratchett ...

I'm probably not doing this book justice with my rating, but as much as I think the writing is brilliant, it dragged for me badly. I started it thinking it would work for my werewolf square in bingo, and by the time I realised it definitely wasn't (Agula the werewolf is only mentioned and never ap...

What can I say about Terry Pratchett & Discworld that hasn't been said before? His fantasy has layers inside it's layers. Arch-swindler Moist Van Lipwig never believed his confidence crimes were hanging offenses - until he found himself with a noose tightly around his neck, dropping through a tra...

Now when children enter their adolescence, they go into a trance-like state, entering the Changeland, and may come out of it fairly normal or a bit deranged and prone to can...

This is the third Discworld novel to feature Moist von Lipwig as a protagonist. I've listened to the first, Going Postal, many times and fully expected to love Raising Steam. Unfortunately, it didn't quite work for me. In this book, the Discworld gets its first locomotives. Dick Simnel, a self-taug...

I just got to the bit where she threatened a drunk with serious bodily harm after he tried to get her to kiss him. Here's Moist and Miss Dearheart talking about it afterwards: "He was only a drunk," Moist ventured. "Yes, men say that sort of thing," said Miss Dearheart.

Well-paced story with nice twists and the usual strong Pratchett voice and theme-trumpeting. Would make a fine film--many roles for women!

I've never been a sports fan, unless I were actually doing the sport in question, but I found a discworld adaptation of a sport completely apropo and more than a little snide. Fortunately for those of us who don't care too much about sports in-general, the reoccurring characters more than make up fo...

Finally after years, had a chance to read this book. :) This was a really fun little book, and I loved the map that came with it. Finally a chance to see Lancre on a map and be able to follow the lines, see where everyone lives. The guide was fun too, with lots of info about Lancre. Really recommend...
