Terry Pratchett was a brilliant writer and yes I would compare him with Tolkien but on the much lighter side. His characters are great and the stories relaxing and easy to follow and as for laughs well that goes without saying. All of his books even the early children's books are worth a read by adults. We have lost a great man and author in his passing.

FANTASTIC book by an extremely clever, original and really missed author. The first Discworld novel will transport you into an amazing world which you will want to visit again and again.

I read this book way back when it first was published. I read it so much that one day 'it actually fell to pieces'. Now I have a new copy and happiness reigns in the kingdom.

Although the first of the Discworld novels written it is more a standalone book. If you have difficulty embracing the concepts it is well worth venturing into the forums where you will likely be advised to start with one of the witches series, the town watch or just the second book The Light Fantastic which is a more fully formed story. Neverthe less it is a good book and one of the many loved by fans of Sir Terry.

A friend lent me the " witch novels " which I loved, having found my role model in granny Weatherwax. Now I'm starting with the first Disc World novel and loving it. Terry Pratchet's gentle humour shines through all his writing.
