Book Reviews of Wintersmith (Discworld)

Book Review: Tiffany's New Boyfriend
Summary: 5 Stars

I've already read just about everything by Terry Pratchett I can get my hands on. Several times. From "The Carpet People," to "Making Money." I love the worlds Mr. Pratchett's fertile imagination creates. His characters are as real as they can be, people from regular life, just on a different world.

I bought "Wintersmith" in the audio version, so I could listen to someone else's interpretation, to augment the voices and personalities I "heard" in my mind when I read the book. Stephen Briggs does a magnificent job of reading into the prose the subtleties and nuances of each of the characters.

The story is wonderful, the reading is great, and it makes the miles go by quickly as I listen on my iPod (tm). If you're already a Pratchett fan, I recommend the adventures of Tiffany Aching, as she does her best to convince the Wintersmith that she really doesn't need a cold-shouldered boyfriend at the moment. Read it or listen to it, you'll enjoy it.

Summary of Wintersmith (Discworld)

At 9, Tiffany Aching defeated the cruel Queen of Fairyland.

At 11, she battled an ancient body-stealing evil.

At 13, Tiffany faces a new challenge: a boy. And boys can be a bit of a problem when you're thirteen. . . .

But the Wintersmith isn't exactly a boy. He is Winter itself-snow, gales, icicles-all of it. When he has a crush on Tiffany, he may make her roses out of ice, but his nature is blizzards and avalanches. And he wants Tiffany to stay in his gleaming, frozen world. Forever.

Tiffany will need all her cunning to make it to Spring. She'll also need her friends, from junior witches to the legendary Granny Weatherwax. They-

Crivens! Tiffany will need the Wee Free Men too! She'll have the help of the bravest, toughest, smelliest pictsies ever to be banished from Fairyland-whether she wants it or not.

It's going to be a cold, cold season, because if Tiffany doesn't survive until Spring-

-Spring won't come.
