Summary: Second-tier Discworld
Review: This Discworld novel is a spoof of the early days of Hollywood, with lots and lots of movie references. Gaspode the talking dog, who was introduced here, is a big asset to the book. Peripherally tied to the Rincewind stories via the wizards, and the Night Watch stories via "cut me own throat" Dibbler, it is primarily a standalone, and not one of the better ones: when the most interesting character is a dog, you know something is not quite right.

Summary: Read it!
Review: This is only the second discworld book I've read but I'm already hooked on the series. As opposed to the parodies in Colour of Magic(None of which I got) you'll instantly recognise movies like King Kong and Gone With The Wind(Blown Away). The book isn't exactly based as much on plot(But it's good enough) as it is on hilarity. Some great characters. I especially liked the animals. Could anyone tell me what other books Gaspode is in?

Summary: Excellent Book
Review: This is the 10th in Pratchett's Discworld. It's one of the excellent ones in the series. As the name implies, it's a parody of Hollywood. Even though he's not THE main character, it spends a lot of time with C.M.O.T. Dibbler. I don't want to say it "develops" his character since "Throat" isn't exactly himself throughout the book. But, there's a lot of him present. The book also introduces the Archancellor who seems to be Pratchett's now-permanent one: Ridcully. Also introduced is Gaspode the Wonder Dog.

Summary: Hilariously funny!
Review: This is the tenth book in Terry Pratchett's series on the Discworld--a flat world, supported on the back of four massive elephants riding on the back of a planet-sized turtle, anything hilarious can happen here, and eventually does. When the last Keeper of the Door dies, there is no one left to remember, and the idea must be remembered. So, the idea seeks to break back into the Discworld, the idea of Holy Wood.First the alchemists of Anhk-Morpork discover a way to make moving pictures, and then "Cut-me-own Throat" Dibbler discovers the idea of being a movie mogul, then Victor Tugelbend and Ginger Withal discover the idea of being a star. And so, the dream of Holy Wood begins to awaken...but, could that dream be a nightmare beyond anyone's understanding? As always, Terry Pratchett is the master of telling a story that is both gripping and hilariously funny. Indeed, while reading this book I woke my charming wife up several times, laughing out loud! The author succeeds in keeping multiple storylines on track and easy to understand, and the book zooms along to its finale, and boy is it a funny one. I loved this book, and highly recommend it to you!

Summary: Ok...
Review: Well, being a standalone book it doesn't seem as important to the rest of the series. I would say the Discworld is about the whole, not one book or another. It would be impossible for me to give any of the Discworld books a rating lower than 4 stars, so just go read it.
