Review: Small Gods
|
| |
R E Q U E S T E D S P O I L E R S P A C E _Small Gods_ is a departure for Terry Pratchett. The result is probably his most significant and certainly one of his most philosophical novels, and a true masterpiece. Brutha is a novice in the byzantine religious hierarchy of Omnia, a rather extreme pastiche of 15th-century Christianity. One day, he hears... more »

Review: Witches Abroad
|
| |
R E Q U E S T E D S P O I L E R S P A C E _Witches Abroad_ is classic mid-series Pratchett - funny and never dull, with an emphasis on comedy and hijinks but a serious philosophical undercurrent. The third book in the "witches" stream, this follows Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg and Magrat Garlick as they travel to Genua (a pastiche of New... more »

Review: Reaper Man
|
| |
R E Q U E S T E D S P O I L E R S P A C E The eleventh book in the Discworld series and the second one that follows the character of Death, _Reaper Man_ is, above all, a great read, and one that explores deep ideas in ways that most previous books haven't. The truth is that this is actually two books in one - a fact underscored... more »

Review: Moving Pictures
|
| |
R E Q U E S T E D S P O I L E R S P A C E The tenth Discworld book is something of a disappointment. This doesn't have to do with the Contemptible Cover[1] of the book, but with the characters and plot. The story follows Victor Tugelbend, a rather lackadaisical student wizard, as he gets swept up in "Holy Wood" fever. Essentially, the book... more »

Review: Eric
|
| |
R E Q U E S T E D S P O I L E R S P A C E -Faust-Eric (which heretorefore I will refer to as _Eric_ to save sanity) is a strange creature. It's certainly part of the Discworld canon, but isn't really a book; it's more of a novella, clocking in at about half the length of a full novel. I understand it was originally... more »
