Hi everyone,

I posted a new review of Terry Pratchetts novel, Soul Music. I wanted
to invite everyone to read it, and let me know what you think. Are
there a lot of Pratchett fans on the board here? What's you favorite
Discworld book?

Here's the link to my HubPage: http://hubpages.com/hub/Soul-Music-Pratchett
.
And a quick preview:

"I'm mean and turf and I'm mean and turf and I'm mean and turf and I'm
mean and turf,
And me an' my friends can walk towards you with our hats on backwards
in a menacing way,
Yo!"

Music has always had a mythology all it's own, and in Soul Music Terry
Pratchett looks back over rock history and puts his unique Discworld
twist on it. A young druid, Imp Y Celyn, has a gift for music and
after an argument with his father, declares that some day he would be
the greatest musician ever. To follow his dream, he follows in the
footsteps of those before him, leading to Ankh-Morpork. And much like
those who came before him, he ends up broke and hungry, looking for a
way to survive the mean streets. In situations like that strange
alliances form, in this case the slightly Elvish-looking human, a
troll (Lias Bluestone) and a dwarf (Glod Glodsson) form a band, "Band
With Rocks In". When they sign a contract with the notorious Cut-me-
own-throat Dibbler, their fate is all but sealed. And then disaster
strikes, Imp's harp breaks and the closest the group can find to
replace it with is a guitar from a mysterious instrument shop.

What I think is that I'm now sure your reviews are a bit too
light-weight for my tastes, focusing way too much on summarising
the story and not enough on actually saying anything interesting
about it other than: "well I liked this bit, but didn't like that
bit".

And I still think you should actually post the reviews here in
the newsgroup, not just teasers for your website.

Me favourite Discworld book is a toss-up between _Small Gods_,
_Feet of Clay_, _The Amazing Maurice_, _Wyrd Sisters_ and _Mort_.

But that doesn't really tell you anything interesting, does it?
