Soul Music

Rating:
Summary: More one-liners than a room full of... One-liners.
Review: I can still vividly picture a guy being thrown ON to the river... Terry perfectly illustrates what the world would look like if it were much more fun. Death-of-Rats with his little rat-scythe. A wizard with a leather jacket bearing the words "Born to Rune" on the back. Rock and Roll sneaking in a few hundred years before its time. As soon as I can find a bus going there, I'm buying a ticket.

Summary: What a wonderful ending.
Review: I've read all of the comments, but no one mentioned what a glorious ending the book has. I had a permanent smile on my face for like the last 30 pages. Soul Music is by far one of the best books I have read (and I'm always reading *some*thing), and I'm glad that most everyone loved it as well. I mean, how can you *not* just love the Death of Rats? Genius...

Summary: Spinal Tap should sue
Review: Discworld is a highly entertaining mickey take on the most ridiculous industry known to man. No corner escapes Terry Pratchett's wicked humour:performers, managers, agents and especially the fans (the image of the Dean in his leather cloak with the words "Born To Rune" on the back still makes me chuckle). Well done Mr. Pratchett! Long Live Music With Rocks In!!!

Summary: SQUEAK
Review: This is a great book. I loved all of the parodys on the music world. LONG LIVE SEX DWARFS AND MUSIC WITH ROCKS IN!!(two out of three ain't bad....)

Summary: "Soul Music" has hole!
Review: I never heard of Terry Pratchett or Discworld until last week---now I can't wait to read the other books in the series.The idea of Death taking a holiday because he can't forget what hasn't happened yet is crazy to begin with; when you add Music with Rocks In it's an avalanche! If you're going to read this book don't plan on going anywhere for the next few hours---you won't want to put it down (except to find the rest of the series).

Summary: This is the best novel from the best series. 'Nuff said.
Review: This is wonderful. It's the first Discworld book I've read, and, though now I've read 'em all, it's still my favourite. Not only is it bloody hilarious, but it's also quite poignant, in places--perfectly demonstrating the dichotomy that makes Pratchett so great.

Review: This is, in my opinion, the best of the discworld books. Plus it has the Death Of Rats.

Summary: "Krisma"tic!
Review: The perfect continuation of the DEATH story! Also the funniest parody of Rock music I've ever read.

Summary: Not one of his better books
Review: I'm surprised to see so many good reviews here; I thought it was pretty feeble. I mean, it's not *bad*--it's still Pterry--but I certainly wouldn't call it one of his best. It's one of his based-on-reality ones, like Moving Pictures, only more so; it's just Buddy Holly on the Discworld.

Summary: Your a bit elvish...
Review: In the begining there was a word "One" followed by more "Two, three, four". Before that though were the words "Testing, 1 2".
Soul Music takes us on another magical adventure where the realities of our world become twisted adventures on the disc.
The disc moves through the history of music with rocks in it from elvis like beginings, through rolling stones, sex pistols and ending in a summer of free music (which CMOT decides to take advantage of).
All this while death is trying to get drunk and the libarian is hammering out on the organ, makes for one of the craziest disc novels yet.
And just remember anyone can play the drums... you just hit them... and if you miss, then sit closer!
