Series: Discworld #27 The prose felt a lot rougher than is usual for a Discworld book, and although I found it interesting, I wasn't sure how I'd rate it. It just felt so superficial. The way everything was wrapped up in the end was cute, though, so I'm giving it three stars.
The Last Hero is the seventh book in the Rincewind subseries. It’s actually an illustrated novel, the first one I’ve read. It was only available as an illustrated version (unlike Eric which I read in a non-illustrated format), and I do think some of the illustrations were important to the story. ...
The Gods are on notice as the greatest heroes of the Disc are headed for their heavenly abode on a quest to return the fire stolen by the first hero, except there’s a catch. The illustrated Discworld novella The Last Hero is the twenty-seventh in the humorous fantasy series written by Terry Pratche...
The illustrations are so wonderful. The story is going along just fine. The heroes are now old, and instead of going the old people way of dying of old age and being bored before that happen finally, the old heroes are going for a last adventures and hopefully will end their lives in a glorious b...
I love this book, it's definitely one of my favourite Discworld stories. It's a short Discworld "fable" - a sort of fairytale (with a Pratchett twist, of course) with some beautiful illustrations by Paul Kidby that complement and even help tell the story.The Last Hero follows the irrepressible hero ...
2004I had nothing to say about it, although I recall not liking the pictures very much.***2013 April 11Now that I know the characters involved, I enjoyed this one enormously. Pratchett can be challenging to read: he eschews chapters, switches between scenes all over the place following different gro...
"A Discworld Fable" reads the blurb on the cover. I'm not sure what makes it a fable. Really it's just a regular Discworld book but a bit shorter and with pictures. It's not a graphic novel and the pictures, though very nicely done, are illustrations rather than adding any new information to the sto...
I don't think anyone can deny that Terry Pratchett is a brilliant writer. He has such a great sense of style, of storytelling. I always feel like there are so many inside jokes in his stories, that I just get about half of them. When I do discover new ones, it feels a bit like uncovering a little pi...
being a hero is not easy. especially once you reach a certain age. but it's more than just a profession - it's a calling! still - you have to retire some time ;)
It is impossible to rate just the story, because of the really really beautiful Kidby-pictures on almost every page (well, every page, the few pages without colour-pictures have nice background-images). I mean there are swamp-dragons, moon-dragons, kitties (actually: Death with a kitty, and a kitty ...
