Pros: Wonderful characters, intriguing plot, funny as hell. Cons: Drags in places, too metaphysical for some people (though not mine).
Thief of Time, the 26th Discworld novel written by Terry Pratchett, is much more metaphysical than most of the previous books (other than Small Gods, perhaps). The book is so full of ideas that it's almost bursting, which has both its good and...
Pros: Pratchett's humor is a sharp as ever. A quick and engaging read. Cons: Not for newcomers to the Diskworld series.
Ever notice how sometime time gets away from you? You're in the middle of something, you look up, and suddenly four or five hours have passed you by. Other times, things drag. You sit through something boring for an hour or two, take a second look at...
Pros: DEATH, the DEATH of Rats, Auditors, and the meaning of Time. Oh, and an Igor. Cons: VERY complex, LOTS of characters, and I don't like milk.
Come back with me to that strange world, where DEATH is more than a state of (non) being; where magic is real, and where Time really is a woman. The world is a flat disc, and is carried through space on the backs of four elephants, who, in turn rest on...
Pros: Classic Pratchett. Revisits favorite characters and introduces intriguing new ones. There's chocolate. Cons: Should not be your first foray to Disc World.
Terry Pratchett is, to my mind, sort of a reverse Stephen King. In a typical King novel, you're saturated with pop culture references that pile up precariously but have little to do with the main theme of the novel. They're used as hooks to define...
Pros: Satirical British Humor with a cracking pace and side splitting plot. Cons: Satirical British Humor :) Love it or Hate it.
After reading the other reviews, I came to the conclusion that they all seem to assume some prior Pratchett knowledge. So let me give you a more general epinion :)
Pros: Interesting delve into the metaphysical mysteries of Time. Cons: Some of the concepts are a little complex
Terry Pratchett as anyone who has read him knows, lives in a strange Multiverse. Magic is commonplace and Anthropomorphic Personifications are the norm rather than the exception. This book is no exception but he introduces a new way of looking at the...
Pros: Good use of previously developed characters, new characters and Chocolate. Need I say more?! Cons: Need prior exposure to Disc World and the workings of Terry Pratchett's mind.
Terry Pratchett's new book Thief of Time is a wonderful read, but what else would you expect from Pratchett right? The reader is once again reunited with Susan Sto Helit (a.k.a. Death's granddaughter), Lu-Tze and of course Death and Death of Rats. There...
