Book Reviews of Pyramids (Discworld Book 7)
Book Review: Read The Books In Order
Summary: 4 Stars
This was the first of the Discworld series that I read, it was recommended to me by a friend and was her favorite of the series. I did like the book, but I found it a little hard to understand, but I think that if I would have read the Discworld books in order, I would understand it more. So when I get the time, I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the books!!!Book Review: Pterry Ptakes on King Ptut
Summary: 4 Stars
OK, so Pterry Pratchett can even make Egyptology and the mystery of the pyramids hilarious. Loved the bit where Teppic and Ptracy and the algebraic camel get caught in the crack between dimensions. Who knew camels could be so deep?

Book Review: Pyramids
Summary: 4 Stars
Like all Terry Pratchet this book is fun & mind boggling. I have an entirely new perspective on Camels.Book Review: The Pyramids 3 Stars
Teppic has become pharaoh, but doesn?t know what he has to do. So for his dead father, he builds the biggest pyramid that he can make. But the power of the pyramids are errupting and choas and gods shall be let loose. A story full of crocodiles, gods, philosophers, knifes and mummies.One of my least favorite. It was way to flat. It felt like it was written in a day really fast so another book could be made. It was also a little boring in some parts.
But I still loved the Teppic, he is fun and cool. I loved the philosophers and the crazy political guards. The book was hilariouse. So I guess it really should be a 3 and a HALF. I also loved the ideas.
If Terry Pratchett had only put a little bit more depth into the book, it could have been one of the best.
Book Review: An Original Story
Summary: 3 Stars
This story did provide an interesting view of the assassins guild in Ankh-Morpork. In fact, the early pages were among the most interesting. The story about Djelibeybi, a take on ancient Egypt, was still funny at times. But he business with the pyramids and the architects - what were they talking about (once again, maybe Pratchett meant it to sound complicated)? It was a bit vague. Also, I didn't really like any of the main characters (Teppic was well-meaning; I liked him better in Ankh-Morpork as an assassin), except the ghost of the late king. The mummies were very funny at the end, though.
