I liked this one but I didn't clutch it to my chest love it the way I have with other Pratchetts. I'm not sure why since I love the Discworld witches in general and I love MacBeth but sometimes it's just not clicking. Still a non-clicking Discworld book is full of fun, entertainment and sharp sati...

This is one of the earlier books of the series, and not the best one either. I know that most Discworld fans rate this book with 5 awesome stars, but I can’t honestly do that. I think it’s an OK book, definitely weaker than many other novels of the series. The novel has two distinct parts. In the f...

I love this trio of witches.Terry Pratchett has done it again - another fantastic tale of the Discworld.The plot is hilarious and the characters even more so. But still there's a thread of romance, a sweet little side story.This story has heart.

Well, here I am writing a commentary on Wyrd Sisters on Halloween. Okay, this book isn't about Halloween, but the three main characters are witches, and there are a lot of ghosts in this book as well, so it seems that it is quite ironic that I am writing about it now. Not that I particularly subscri...

I spent a lazy Sunday curled up with this book. I was laughing, cackling and screeching right along from beginning to end. It's hilarious, witty, sarcastic parody novel with lively distinctive characters and a great moving plot. I think Terry Pratchett is a must read author for everyone. I've read t...

Pratchett hits the spot again with this blend of fantasy and Shakespeare, with a mighty skewering of both Macbeth and Hamlet. One of my favourite characters, Granny Weatherwax, makes a reappearance, along with two new witches, Magrat and Nanny Ogg. The acting scenes are dead on, and Duke Felmet and ...

This is best described as Shakespeare on acid! There's a macbeth base with a seasoning of hamlet, but from there it takes on a life of its own. The king is dead but not yet departed, the three witches have a role to play, there's a missing heir and the Duke can't get rid of the blood, no matter how ...

I actually read this one after "Witches Abroad", which comes chronologically later. But it never stopped me from enjoying either of the books. Which is in itself a sure sign of Pratchett's genius. Plus: this is the one with the (IMHO) famous footnote on the theory of alternative universes, trousers...

It's funny enough story, I just didn't bond with the characters. The parentage issue at the last part though, was really amusing.
