Summary: Hey nonny, nonny- its funny!
Review: The first Discworld book I read. I was on holiday in Italy, and so wreatchedly ill I had too stay in my tent. A fellow camper lent me "Lords and Ladies". Its cheered me up no end!I have since read the other witches novels, but I still think this one is the best. A great parody of midsummer nights dream with extra imagination. The Ogg family are brilliant, and the morris men and Wizards make a welcome appearence. I love the bit were Magrat fights off the elves in the castle. Those elves were such chilling villians- bring them back Terry! "Before we go back to those dark old ways I'll see you nailed!" My favourite quote- those words certainly did slice the air. If you like the Disc this novel is essential. I would also recomend "Guards,Guards!", "The light Fantastic" and the one I reading at the moment-"Soul music"- which is turning out to be the best one I've read so far!

Summary: Mid-Level Pratchett
Review: I recently had an opportunity to chat with a number of other people who have read most of Pratchett's books. I found each reader had a definite dislike. Some could not stand any of Pratchett's books that involve Granny Weatherwax, but liked all the others. Some could not stand any of Pratchett's books that involve Rincewind, but liked all the others. Some could not stand any of Pratchett's books that involve Death as a major character, but liked all the others. When it was my time to chime in, I could only say, "Ditto!" Any book with Weatherwax, Rincewind or Death as a major character has a major hurdle to overcome. Yet INTERESTING TIMES, which invoves Rincewind, is one of my favorite Pratchett books. LORDS AND LADIES has Granny Weatherwax facing an invasion from fairyland, and it is far from my favorite Pratchett novel, but it has its points. The plot is interesting, the characters are well-developed and have something to do, and the novel comes to a climax instead of dwindling away with a whimper, as some of the Pratchett opi tend to do.

Summary: i needed this
Review: I found this book to be very amusing. Quite a change from the ordinary end of the world type Sci-Fi. Very light hearted and with an interesting plot line. I plan to buy the rest of the books in this series and enjoy them as well. Thank you Mr. Prachett, I needed a good laugh.

Summary: Talk about your gate crashers
Review: Margrat Garlick is about to have her dream wedding. She is marrying the King. The stuff fairy tales are made of. A faerie tale is what she gets. Every bride's nightmare. The faerie host have decided they would like to crash the festivities and the Queen wants the King for her husband. At least until she's tired of him. It's up to Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg, the librarian and a host of others to stop them. I enjoyed this one, but even Pratchett mentions you need some background on this one. I strongly suggest you read at least Wyrd Sisters and Witches Abroad prior to this. It'll give you some idea of what's going on. Pratchett plays with most of the British elven legends as well as few of the Pagan Pantheon to bring this one off. (Actually, he sticks pretty close to the old legends and humorously traces their evolution into modern conception). I liked this novel not only for the usual humor, but also for the suspense aspect of it. I recommend this one if you like the fairy tales

Summary: A modern Satyr Play
Review: Terry Pratchett's books seem to function like a satyr play at the end of a day of tragedies - they poke not too subtle fun at the themes and concerns which lie deep in the psyche. This may seem a bold claim, but there has to be some reason for popularity of the discworld books. In this one, "Lords and Ladies", Shakespeare's fairies from 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' are combined with Tolkein's elves to create a sort of negative beautiful people - not too unlike some of the interpretations given to the darker side of the Shakespeare original. This has a logic behind it which, when you throw in the stable discworld characters, give it a harsh flavouring of socialism (or perhaps peasantism?) and let loose Mr Pratchett's wicked play on words, produces an energetic romp guaranteed to tickle not only the intellect but also the funny bone. You can enjoy the book without knowing the Shakespeare, but you'd miss a lot if you did.

Summary: A change of perspective: Elves are evil
Review: OK. You have to fight the badest, meanest and glamorous representation of evil: AN ARMY OF ELVES! Yes, you read right. How would you do such a thing? Well, you can rally a bunch of men armed with iron that are more afraid of Nanny Ogg (protected by her dwarf date, who knew, huh?) that of beautiful elves; in front you put the "queen to be" Magrat in full iron armor and chain mail and a battle axe (who wants to save her future captured husband and King), bodyguarded by three seniors wizards from Unseen University, (who where invited to the wedding, and went only to breath some fresh air), one fo them the oragutan librarian himself. Maybe you think that's chaotic enough. THINK AGAIN. Archchancellor Mustrum Ridcully is shooting arrows from its magical crossbow trying to save the greatest witch in Discworld and his only love: Granny Weatherwax, who happens to be involved in a word debate with the Elf Queen. And just to put some flavour on the mix, millions of bees are very, very angry and are looking for something to sting, while a lonely unicorn is hunting Granny to introduce her to Death itself. And to finish, a Horned God finally return to the surface. Need I say more?

Summary: Think Elves are nice?
Review: Most people do. They remember them for their beauty, grace, and magic. Which they do have. However this is all a matter of perception. The power of the elves lies in them making you think that they are better than you will ever be. They have Class. They have Style. And you are animals. The truth is elves are unbeliveably cruel. The only reason why they dont kill things right away is because it is so much fun to tourture them. They are cruel. They are selfish. They take and take and give nothing back except their merry laughter at how pathetic you are. But all people remember is their beauty. Granny Weatherwax is smarter than most though. She knows elves for what they are and would rather die than see them take over her town. Buy the book to see how the story turns out. I give it 5 stars :).

Summary: Good, but not great
Review: I am a big fan of Terry Pratchett's Discworld series, but this novel left me disappointed. Lacking in humor, this novel resembles the kind of novel which others in this series (Interesting Times, Jingo) are such a great parody of.
Rating:
Summary: Good...but below Pratchett standards
Review: Compared with any book from any other author, this book is excellent. Compared with Pratchetts other books, it's quite mediocre. It's funny, and has some excellent moments, but in the middle it gets quite confusing. Furthermore, there are nearly no serious themes treated in this book, which is a shame because discussing serious themes is what Pratchett masters best. The only thing that makes me rate this book with 4 stars is the excellent character of Casanunda, the best of the book. Without him, I would have rated it 3, because it's worse than most other Discworld novels, but still better than most other things written by most other authors.
