Rating: Summary: Interesting Times is Terry Pratchett's best to date Review: As a long-time fan of Terry Pratchett, I expected to enjoy Interesting Times. It far exceeded all my expectations, however. Constantly hilarious, this is a great one for any reader.
Rating: Summary: Interesting Times keeps you wanting more Review: Interesting Times by Terry Pratchett is worth reading. Like Jingo, Feet of Clay, and other Discworld novels, each of its characters deserves a biography of their own. Allthough all of Pratchett's books are very funny, this is the only one that made me laugh out loud. It is very crazy, which characterizes Discworld novels. Take for instance 6 old men, one in a wheelchair, but able to take on armies. These and other odd characters appear in this book. I only give it four stars because the plot could be better.
Rating: Summary: The best Discworld book. Hands down. Review: With "Interesting Times" Terry Pratchett can truly lay claim to be "the best satirist in the field". Rincewind's return, after prolonged absence, is simply hysterical. Everything works in this book, from the villainous Lord Hong, to the Wizards of UU, to the Silver Hoard (one of the funniest twists ever. Who can't see the movie version with Schwartzenegger, Stallone, Kirk Douglas, Charleton Heston, Clint Eastwood...) There is not a single awkward piece in the book, and the sheer mayhem is enough to delight for hours. Probably the most inspired Discworld book, and easily the best Rincewind novel. Pratchett has never been better.
Rating: Summary: Wonderful, shame about the cover Review: I find myself wondering why the US publishers have not used the Paul Kirby cover for this & other Discworld titles.
Rating: Summary: In my opinion it's Pratchett's best! Review: I didn't read all books by Pratchett but really a lot and until now I gotta say that Interesting Times is the best I read. It has a nice story, all the great characters (Rincewind, Twoflower,Cohen and of course this little, funny and... dangerous thing (Pratchett reader's know what I mean)) and - most important - it's very funny! You'll enjoy reading it if you like funny fantasy! I guarantee that!
Rating: Summary: Terry Pratchett is at his zenith in this zany novel! Review: Rincewind the Wizzard is back, and more hilarious than ever! Fans of Discworld, beware: long periods of helpless laughter due to the riotous nature of this book may ensue upon reading. Readers are in for a side-splitting, spirits-lifting good time.
Rating: Summary: Nice one Review: Discworld anti-hero Rincewind and one of its heroes - the Luggage :) - are back. With the support of Cohen and his horde of elderly co-barbarians, they stir trouble in the Discworld equivalent of China, where politeness keeps the People's Army from getting on with their revolution. Well-written, funny, nice to read!
Rating: Summary: Hilarious, Ingenious, A Laugh out Loud Novel! Review: This book cannot be described without using the word excellent. It is the first Pratchett Novel I ever read and it got me hooked. The Silver Horde are incredible. Interesting Times is non-stop, laugh a miunte stuff and never gets boring. I cannot recommend this book enough and everytime you read it, it gets better.
Rating: Summary: This is one of the most fascinating and enjoyable books ever Review: Intersting Times is one of the most clever and enjoyable books that I have read in a long time, and I have read over 16 novels in the past four months alone. The characters and scenarios play upon common themes and elements but manage to twist the normal perception into a fantastic new reality. For, example do barbarians retire? Well Interesting Times will give you the answer. I would highly recomend this book and others in the series for any reader intersted in reading a simply a good book!
Rating: Summary: The return of a Wizzard and his friend Twoflower Review: This book is really good if what you want is a follow on of the first Discworld books 'The colour of magic' and 'The light Fantastic'. It involves the return of Rincewind the wizard who can't even spell wizard, who is transported to the Agatean Empire to assist an army made up of children to overrun the emperor. But the best part about this book is the Luggage who returns which the same great character that only a box on leg can have. But in this he thinks that he is free and so he does what all free animals do, needless to say this involves a Lady Luggage.A great story!!!!! Five exclamation marks that means I'm mad about it!!!!!
