Title: Going PostalAuthor: Terry PratchettRating: 5/5I was plagued by an urge to watch Going Postal all throughout reading this book. Perhaps it's because I've done so before many times. The part where the good guys are victorious is different, for sure, but no less fanciful and still in line with Moist's character and I sort … Continue reading Review of Going Postal by Terry Pratchett

Review of Wee Free Men by Terry Pratchett
Title: Wee Free MenAuthor: Terry PratchettRating: 5/5I loved the Nac Mac Feegles when they appeared in Carpe Jugulum. Though they were a little tough to understand then. They're better in this, though not laughing while reading this book in public is a problem. They are certainly a gung-ho lot.But of course, this book (bar a … Continue reading Review of Wee Free Men by Terry Pratchett

Review of The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents by Terry Pratchett
Title: The Amazing Maurice and his Educated RodentsAuthor: Terry PratchettRating: 5/5This ... this is a bit of a go at the Pied Piper story. With a touch of Puss in Boots. And practically every fluffy bunny story every written. Mostly told by Maurice along with an assemblage of Changed, and quite educated, rats.The story is … Continue reading Review of The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents by Terry Pratchett
Review of The Last Hero by Terry Pratchett
Title: The Last HeroAuthor: Terry PratchettRating: 5/5Simple plot to this one. The last hero wants to return to the gods what the first hero stole. In Discworld, that means fire, which would mean the end of the world. So naturally, someone's got to stop them. Of course, it's not that simple (whenever is it?).But this … Continue reading Review of The Last Hero by Terry Pratchett
Review of The Thief of Time by Terry Pratchett
Title: The Thief of TimeAuthor: Terry PratchettRating: 5/5This was certainly an interesting one. The Auditors are once again trying to rid the universe of life.As such, Susan is featured heavily in this one and, as with The Hogfather, I very much enjoyed her "at the end of the day, someone's got to tip the wee … Continue reading Review of The Thief of Time by Terry Pratchett
Review of The Truth by Terry Pratchett
Title: The TruthAuthor: Terry PratchettRating: 5/5I'll say this now: I adore Otto Chriek.Yes, I know he's a vampire. And yes, I do know he's a secondary character, but I can't help but love the iconograph-taking non-blood-drinking vampire who turns to dust every time he takes a photo. How could you not?Anyhow, this novel is all … Continue reading Review of The Truth by Terry Pratchett
Review of The Fifth Elephant by Terry Pratchett
Title: The Fifth ElephantAuthor: Terry PratchettRating: 5/5From vampires in Carpe Jugulum to werewolves. This time it's a trip to Uberwald to see the new dwarf king being crowned and, with Vimes playing ambassador to Ankh-Morpork I knew this wasn't going to be a cut-and-dry event. Especially when he's bringing Detritus and Cherry into the fray. … Continue reading Review of The Fifth Elephant by Terry Pratchett
Review of Carpe Jugulum by Terry Pratchett
Title: Carpe JugulumAuthor: Terry PratchettRating: 5/5Oh how I adored this. From the title (Seize the Jugular ^_^), to the characters and the concept. Yes, it’s a bit similar to Lords and Ladies, but this had a more entertaining edge.I mean, there are my favourite witches andwe get vampires? And we’re poking fun at all the … Continue reading Review of Carpe Jugulum by Terry Pratchett
Review of Jingo by Terry Pratchett
Title: Jingo Author: Terry PratchettRating: 5/5A story where Klatch and Ankh-Morepork fight over a there-again-gone-again island.Wasn’t quite sure how it all tied in at first. I actually read the whole thing cover to cover, not once peeking at the back. Not an easy feat for me since there was the puzzling 71-hour Ahmed (I was … Continue reading Review of Jingo by Terry Pratchett
