Summary: Kinda nice with a malicious streak vs. Evil
Review: In this magnificent battle beteen absolute evil and, well, not exactly good, not as such, you will learn that fighting against overwhelimg odds almost assures you a victory. You will also learn to beware of the meek. Especially when they wear chain-mail and wield a big ol' axe. Also when going to war, it is a good idea to have an orang-utang on your side. You will also learn how to laugh with muscles you didn't even know you had. Finally you will lear a lot about human nature. Enjoy.

Summary: Welcome to the Dark Side of Faerie
Review: Methinks Pratchett was one of the first fantasy authors of this decade to explode the stereotype of the friendly elf (the only other treatment I've seen on this theme is Greg Bear's "Songs of Earth and Power", and that much darker and more serious in tone.) This novel is the beginning of Pratchett's turn into dark humor, which seems to get darker all the time. If you've been bothered by his later novels, I slightly recommend this one-but keep in mind this is the beginning of the crossover.

Summary: So what's the difference between elves & humans?
Review: Hmmm..., vicious, nasty, manipulative, self-centered... Sounds like most humans I've met. Maybe cows and insects think _we're_ evil. Think about it before stuffing a burger into your mouth or squashing a bug. I appreciate satire, even if it tweaks my own "sacred cows." I'm not afraid to reexamine my beliefs--it either strengthens them or enables me to discard those I've outgrown. However, as someone whose ancestors were persecuted and executed because of a convenient stereotype promulgated by ignorant and frightened mental/moral defectives, I cannot endorse the concept of genocide as entertainment. One of the reasons I've enjoyed and recommended Mr. Pratchett's work is that he (usually) questions the standard fantasy truism that certain species are evil because they are that species. (Oh, god, orcs (or trolls or...)! Kill them!) Unfortunately, in order to justify his own views (anyone else remember his comments in a STARLOG interview about not hearing the "bloody elves singing" in his stories?) he conveniently and lazily resorts to the kind of stereotype he's previously debunked. Returning to my original comments, I ask that everyone who has agreed with Mr. Pratchett's description of elves to consider that someone else may think that describes YOU. And when you try to justify the behavior that prompted such an opinion, think if the other person will still believe you are anything other than manipulative and self-serving. THEN be thankful that we really haven't seen evidence of intelligent life from other planets, because it it existed and was aware of the human species, I doubt it would think any more highly of us than this book regards elves. In short: well-written, but disappointing.

Summary: I wanntzz a bunzzch of flowerszz and someone to szzzting!
Review: Ever wondered what a swarm of bees feels like? Read this and get a lesson on Grannys idea of 'out of the body' experiences. The only flaw of this novel was that it had me scared senseless for the latter half, because Granny 'felt' she was going to die. And as we all know, a witch ALWAYS know when her time is about to come. Right? For an agonizing long evening reading I kept praying, and sending more then one hateful thought towards Mr. Pratchett for NOT planning on giving us a sequel to our beloved witch trio. I swore I would never buy another of his books, I swore I would get even, I could not enjoy the book fully for fear....it would be the last. Little did I know about the Weatherwaxes headology. Dying is all relative. I will now NOT spoil it for you: ENJOY, Granny will continue to bully us, or so I hope :)

Summary: A mild review of a halirous book
Review: I don't think that there is a book that can get much better than this one. I like the return of Cassunda, the world's second greatest lover. This little (he is a dwarf) guy has many adventures with Nanny Ogg up at the long man burial mounds. (two circular and one long straight one. Figure it out) I also like when the Librarian of the university knockes the guard troll into the Lancere River. Jason Ogg is a blacksmith that can put a shoe on anything with feet, even an ant.

Summary: Good Lancre Novel, some good insights but not his best work.
Review: Story begins almost immediately after Witches Abroad, which I believe is one of the best works in fantasy. This book is not quite up to the level of Witches Abroad although it has some excellant insights, especially about words which change their meaning over time such as "terrific".
If you like the Disc World series you have to read this book just to keep up with the ever popular witches of Lancre. If you haven't read any disc-world books I would start with Wyrd Sisters, then Witches Abroad and then Lords and Ladies. They are not really a trilogy but that is the best order in which to read them

Summary: A must-read for classic fantasy lovers!
Review: This book is a great bridge between the hilarious Discworld and the classic genre of fantasy. Another huge plus is the wonderfully down-to-earth Granny Weatherwax (who sure has changed since her first appearance in "Equal Rites")....anyone who loves stories about elves or witches in general will love Pratchett's take on them

Summary: Lord & Ladies, Right? or What they didn't tell you in school
Review: Terry Prachett returns us to the Discworld where we drop in on the wedding preperations for our meandering Margat and Lancre's King nee Fool.
As usual, Margat can't make up her mind until she's inspired by a pot lid and famous fake art.
Our complication comes in the guise of what we all thought we remembered as "the gentle folk". Those
masters of mis-remembering try to join the party and Chaos, with a capital C, insues.
A great read for the Discworld fanatics. There are parts which tend to be a bit slow. Overall a great time was had by all.
