First of all I have to say that I love Discworld. I knew Nation was not a Discworld book, but it's a Prachett book and I thought it was worth a try.
And I was right. This is not Discwold, and, after reading it I wonder why does Pratchett lose his time writin Discworld when he can create such a wonderful book... It's a story abot what makes us human, about love (not only to a person, but to your whole nation), about the nature of gods... Read it, it will amaze you >>More Details |

Utterly stupendous ending saves this Pratchett Discworld novel of moderate worth.
Only a genius could come up with such a barmy original idea as Collateral Custard. Mr Bent and Collateral Custard save the day >>More Details |

While I was never a fan of the Science of Discworld series, I picked this one up since it seemed to approach things from an interesting new angle. I'm certainly not disappointed - there is a whole gamut of folklore covered within, showing the links and relationships between Discworld and the Earth. It's very well written, and flows like fine honey!
However... There isn't an awful lot of 'meat' to a lot of the content. It's very much a case of 'Here's a thing from Discworld, and here's it's real world equivalent.', and then after a paragraph or so it moved on to the next thing. I would have liked it to be a bit more in-depth, but there is a bibliography provided at the end that helps flesh out the detail. I wholeheartedly ... Read More: >>More Details |

This is certainly not one to start the series with if you are new to Terry Pratchett - it is thematically quite different (which is understandable considering that it's the first of his Discworld books) and rather rough in parts. It's certainly one to read once you're familiar with the world, but you'd be better off starting with something like Mort or Soul Music to get a better flavour of what Discworld is all about.

.........by its cover. Except in this case because not only is this book beautifully packaged but the contents are of the same high standard. It's been such a long time since I last read most of the Discworlds that most of these lovely snippets are unknown to me - and what a delight it is to read them again. I find that reading them isolated from their parent novels actually increases my awareness of their quality - and compels me to go back and read those novels again. Which is, I suppose, what is intended. Splendid.

The Wee Free Menby: Terry Pratchett April 29, 2004 |

Although supposedly a book for younger audiences, the Wee Free Men would be enjoyable for any Discworld fan no-matter what their age. The book follows Tiffany Aching, a young farmgirl who must deal with an invasion of nightmare creatures, the disappearance of her younger brother and her own burgeoning power. All she has to help her is a frying pan, a book on the Diseases of the Sheep and the Wee Free Men, tough and drunken pictsies who enjoy a good fight.
Although the book does get off to something of a bad start it does pick up as you read and it turns into a greatly entertaining story. Terry Pratchett is a brilliant righter and this book is a great exposition of his strengths being funny, thoughtful and inventive all at the same time. The book does have the feel of both ...

being a Discworld fan, my phoenomena started here.
Rincewind, ever since this book, has beguiled me in certain ways. His sarcasm, his dry sense of humour, his psychological depression, and, as I later realized, his innocence and good nature, beneath that crusty exterior. In Sourcery, he actually saves the world with a half brick in a sock and I thought that was the bravest thing he has ever done, since, despite his reluctance. In this book, he looks a bit like Wee Willie Winkie 20 years later, I reflected. But his character hadn't changed. One problem with this book is that they took out one major character- Trymon. Trymon is a great adversary and he's so ambitious and high achieving, which led to his downfall. All in all, a good book if you haven't read the series. >>More Details |

This has become one of my favourite books. I've always loved the "witches" series and the "nac mac feegle" who appear in Carpe Jugulum invaded my brain, kicked a few bottles around and dossed down.
This is, as others have said, the third in the "Tiffany Aching" series. I admit I enjoyed the first, wasn't too struck with the second (to start with), but with this one Pratchett is back to his best. It hooked me from the start. Pratchett's talent and skill is in the folklore and the facts which he uses in the books, the little things, like the old belief in summer and winter Gods, the laying out and sitting with the dead, etc. For me it is these small factual titbits that add to the story and make it more than your typical 'story book'. Some of the in-jokes seem to be ... Read More: >>More Details |
