A quick warning, if you don't like sci-fi books, or you don't like being taken to this imaginary land where anything can happen, and you feel really involved with the story, then Terry Pratchett is not the author for you. If you do like that sort of thing, then read on, and you will fall in love with him straight away. My parents have always read Terry Pratchett's books, and when I read my first one, I immediately knew why. I think I originally read one just because the cover was so interesting. I know they say you should never judge a book by its cover, but come on, we all do it. On most of his books, especially the discworld ones, the design is absolutely amazing. ...  Read the complete review

Mr Pratchett, what has the world done to deserve an author such as yourself, from the moment i picked up your first book, i swore an oath not to stop untill i had read all of your fine novels, the discworld series, marvellous, your short stories, spellbinding, in a word, wonderful. Never before have i seen such masterful play with words and such imagery in anyones work. i often wonder what the inside of such a genius' mind could possibly be like, and he lets us know exactly what by putting all of his talents into the books he creates, originality & entertainment being his strongpoints, his humor is unsurpassed and his books are enjoyed by all ages, a truly ...  Read the complete review

I've been into Terry Pratchett for a number of years now and his books have always been great. I began with "Mort" on a school trip and was hooked from there on in. The basic concept is that there is a place called the Discworld, a revolving world travelling through space on the back of 4 elephants which ride on the back of a gigantic turtle. This is an obvious play on the way in which people thought of Earth. There's a lot of magic on the Disc, a wizarding university, witches abounding and a whole menagerie of mythical creatures to be enjoyed. The world is copmplete in every detail and a different aspect of it is explored in each book. ...  Read the complete review

I have a bad feeling I am about to make a coupple of enemies now: I am not a Terry Pratchett fan! Ok. It's out in the open, so let's move on. I have read quite a few books by Terry Pratchett, mostly of them belongs to the series of Discworld. I liked the first book I read, (it happened to be "Mort", by the way), and I liked the second ("Little gods") but then I just lost the interest. Yes. They were funny. But I get the feeling that if you've read one of them, you've read them all. Even though the stories are different, they are still similar enough. What I DO like by Terry Prathcett, is the book ...  Read the complete review

I first heard of Terry Pratchett a few years ago when some of my friends said their brothers read the books and they were meant to be quite good. I thought I'd try them out. I found out that alot of his books came under one set, 'The Discworld Novels'. He has wrote alot of other books, but the Discworld Novels were good ones to start off with. I went out and bought 'The Colour of Magic', the first Discworld Novel, and started to read it. At first I was intrigued, now I'm obsessed! His books are fantastic! The Discworld Novels are based on the Discworld (funnily enough) which is a big snowglobe (they live inside the snowglobe) on the ...  Read the complete review
