Summary: Bloody brilliant!
Review: Soul Music was the first Discworld novel I read, and now, after having read almost the entire series, it remains one of my favorites! Improves on further readings - I can guarantee you won't get all the jokes the first time through! The characters are fabulous - Death, Susan, the Death of Rats (SQUEAK!), the wizards (Born to Rune!)...it's a hilarious book that always keeps me laughing aloud. I think it's a good book to start off with - it's a nice introduction to some of the most popular Discworld characters and doesn't rely too much on earlier books. Just be sure to come back and read it again after you've read more of the series!

Review: This has been one of the best Discworld books I've ever read. It had me up late into the night reading because once you start you just can't stop.Another Discworld book thats as good as this one is Interesting Times. Try it if you want a good long laugh.

Summary: Soul Music Hits the Disc
Review: Terry Pratchet has done it again, with Soul Music. This is the best Discworld novel yet published. Trolls, dwarfs, humans and music with rocks in, it's a really funny book, with action, satirical jokes and a true observation on human nature. Just read it!

Summary: Better Than others would have you think
Review: This is really a good book and got me hooked on the series. It's really not that bad, and if you think it's confusing, think, do you ALWAYS understand a joke the fist time you hear it? If you're not keen on Sci-fi/Fantasy, well, you probally won't like it, but this is on par with Xanth, Pern, and Valdemar. Alot of the book has to do with rock and roll, so you may want to brush up on your history. I would definately recommend this book to a teenager or someone who lived throughout the time of rock and Roll's beginning. If you don't care for anything like this, then you won't like this book. It's that simple. Personally, I love it, even if it's just due to my dislike of most non-fiction. I find it boring, but this book is definitly NOT Earth, it's more like a new, improved version of Xanth, Valdemar, and the world's of David Eddings.

Summary: More fun from Pratchett.......
Review: Pratchett never disappoints me, and as usual, this book was hilarious from start to finish, and you almost never see the jokes coming. I would find myself laughing out loud, then turning back a few pages to see just how long he'd been setting up a joke, then realizing that he hadn't been setting it up, it just appeared there. I'd reccomend brushing up on your Rock and Roll history before reading this, as those who are unfamiliar with the early days of Rock music may miss many of the jokes.

Summary: If this is his best, the others should be burnt
Review: I was told that this was his best. Perhaps this is true, but I will not be wasting my time reading any of the others. "Cult" writers are often over-rated, yet I cannot understand why apparently intelligent people want to read this trash. Most science fantasy is terrible. Even Tolkien was much more enjoyable when I was 9. "The Silmarillion" is shockingly bad at any age. The only joke I laughed at (and not out loud) was the one about Thelonius Monk. Also, I think that Susan's character has definite paedophile connotations, and is generally implausible. Watch some bad TV instead and save your money.

Summary: Soul Music, the best story from Discworld.
Review: Soul Music, does have good old Sci-fi rythem in it, in fact it is one of the best books in Terry Pratchett's Discworld series. Soul Music follows a young woman called Susan, Who is badly mistaken for a tooth fairy, finds that her world of people are starting to dance to a ghostly music called "Music with rocks in" its a lawless soul music that has appeared in Discworld, its alive... and it wont leave Discworld. Soul Music, is my absoulte favourite book in the Discworld series, and it will be loved for those of all ages.

Summary: Disappointing
Review: A rock 'n' roll story evolving around - well, rocks that roll... Neat idea, but I found the book somewhat boring. Although I'm a BIG fan of Death's and Susan's, I couldn't get a hang of the story. There are simply better Discworld novels than this one!!
