Rating: Summary: Sex, Drugs and Music With Rocks In... Review: Well, one out of three ain't bad. Actually it's only 33 percent, but it could be worse. Definitely one of THE best books I've ever read. Pratchett's wit and humor are unmatched. This is one of the best parodies on popular music since Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention. Such puns as "Pathway to Paradise" and "we're on a mission from Glod" abound. Susan of Sto Helit, CMOT Dibbler, and of course Death make this one unforgettable. I can't recommend this one enough.
Rating: Summary: Death gets bored (again) and leaves the job open. Review: Four Words: The Death of Rats, yes I know that He's not one of the main charecters in this book but the whole idea just works for me. This books takes us on a tour of nothing and yet still manages to teach us alot about everything. (sort of like Dougles Adams We have several new friends, (including Death's Grandaughter, who feels that her school should just leave her along and stop messing with her education) and a number of old ones as well.
Rating: Summary: What a long, strange trip it's. . .oh, never mind Review: Super fun! Of course, I wish they'd kept the Librarian in the band. His talents are wasted at Unseen U. . .
Rating: Summary: Lay back, turn up the CD player and enjoy the ride Review: The Disc has tossed turned, nearly been annihalated 27 times and now faces the ultimate threat, Rock n' Roll! For get Oasis, Aqua and Blur, this is The Band With Rocks In! Pratchett's mind has really warped this time. As Buddy, Cliff 'n Glod tread the disc Deaths grand daughter jumps on the band wagon. Prepare to be rocked this is Music With Rocks In!!
Rating: Summary: Pratchett is EVILLY Funny Review: I was laughing my arse off about some of the jokes. Pratchett has humor for all ages. Read this for the hell of it. You'll laugh yourself to DEATH
Rating: Summary: One of THE BEST books ever written! Review: This is a great story of Susan Sto Helit who finds out her grandfather is Death to the Discworld! Soul Music is a fantastic and hilarious book that has all the elements of the preceding Discworld titles, but oh so much more. Everything you could ask for. . . action, comedy, romance, horror, and Music with Rocks In. My advice: READ IT! I loved this book and I'm sure you will too
Rating: Summary: Weird and wicked. Review: This book is full of so many puns and jokes its downright scary. The many plays on pop culture, such as 'We're on a mission from Glod.' to a raven named Quoth, this book is probaly one of the best satires there is. Oh and there's somthing about Death
Rating: Summary: Oh my gosh is this book good. Review: Creative.
Wild.
Outrageous.
Crazy.
It's Music With Rocks In. The newest thing to hit the Disc. This new music terrorizes the civilized and motivates the wild. The whole town of Ankh-Morpork is running around crazy after hearing this new fad. Everyone and their dog's crap is listening to it. Wizards are bottling it up. The bands are mad. Band With Rocks In is the leading group. This book is for all those who ever liked rock music. Or just any music. Or just Pratchett fans. Or just... that plant in the window... wait... that doesn't make sense.... *silence*
Rating: Summary: Great Book Review: This is one of Terry Pratchett's greatest books. I recommend that you buy it
Rating: Summary: Quite possibly Terry's best book yet! Review: Soul Music takes the reader on a romp of sex, drugs, and rock & roll[1] like no other. This book has found a common ground for everyone - there's no sane person on earth who could resist it!
Its a book about The Band that brings rock & roll to the Discworld. As they tour the Disc, fans throw undergarments at the stage and University students paint thier rooms black. But all is not well with this new music. Its _alive_.
And when something is alive, Death gets handed a responsibility. If only anyone knew where he was... In the meantime, his granddaughter[3] Susan, takes over in a hilarious ride through the history of music.
Just don't let that Orang-Utan on the organ!
[1] Okay, just rock & roll.[2]
