Book Reviews of Wintersmith (Discworld)
Book Review: Coming of Age
Summary: 4 Stars
Pratchett's Tiffany Aching series of books are all wonderful and this one is no exception. There are the usual references to other books, and all the amusing hallmarks of his works. What makes this series great is that the Nac Mac Feegle just don't get old in their attempts to do protect Tiffany. This time they're worried about the 'Pursing of the Lips' that keldas do.
Tiffany grows up a bit in this story so there's some romance which makes sense. This book seems to almost be a coming of age story of course with witches making ironic, amusing, and inappropriate comments. (The comments are not R rated of course)
Book Review: A fun tale of derring do
Summary: 4 Stars
What can I say about the writing of Terry Pratchett? If you haven't already discovered his books, do yourself a favor, start now. They are a laugh-a-minute and you generally find you are laughing at yourself, your friends, the government and your stuffy ideas.
An excellent story, opening a whole new vista in your mind, suitable for readers 10 yrs to 100yrs; AND guaranteed to get you out of a bad mood.
Book Review: A little too confusing.
Summary: 4 Stars
This is another good Feegle story, although there were a lot of parts about it that confused me. Still, I read Discworld books more for the characterizations than the plot, so it was satisfying to see our old friends the Nac Mac Feegle and Tiffany. Tiffany is still only 13 so that much of the world's experience is beyond her, though she does all right with the help of Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg.Book Review: A True Clasic
