Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Brill. book - read it if you can. The first in the trilogy.
Review: 'In the beginning was Arnold Bros. (est. 1904) and Arnold Bros. (est. 1904) created the store and everything in it.'

At least, that's what the store nomes thought, but when they meet the outside nomes, and realise the store in being destroyed, they all have to work together and venture into the unknown outside. It's a brilliant book, and if you can, you should read it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Big problems for little people.
Review: Another race also inhabits this Earth, a race four inches tall that lives and moves very quickly, and they are called "nomes." Masklin, the leader of a dwindling band of nomes, decides that a better life must be found, so they stowaway aboard a truck, and find themselves taken to a huge department store. This department store, Arnold Bros. (est. 1905), is populated by thousands of nomes, something the humans above then never suspect. To Masklin and his band this place looks like heaven, but what is the meaning of the signs that read, "Final Sale: Everything Must Go?"

This book is a laugh-riot. Terry Pratchett succeeds is making the Nomes so different, and yet so human. This book is the first of a trilogy; with the other two entitled Diggers and Wings.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Truckers is a real classic.
Review: Do read this book and the two following (Diggers Wings) if you want to learn a few things about humans, and human society. Gullivers journeys are now mostly seen as childrens literature, the same applies to this series. It's ok for children, but I think, grown ups should take more out of it.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Great for Children and Adults!
Review: I really joined reading this book, as a child and now as an adult. I love the imaginative perspective Terry Pratchett gives on the world from the nomes point of view. I read it as a child and now, as a trainee primary school teacher I 'll be reading it to my class.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great now-time-fantasy
Review: I was chatting with a friend when he started to tell me about Pratchetts books. I started to read them and they are great.
They'r easy to read, they'r fun and they'r very different.
They don't take any time to read so you don't lose anything to read them. Just try them out.
I can't understand why noone haven't made an review here erlyer.

Enjoy, /Biel

Summary: Truckers is a Terry Pratchett true Science fiction classic.
Review: In Terry Pratchett's Gnome Classic Epic. A family of wild Gnomes lead by the brave Maskerlin become new arrivals inside the floor boards of a old superstore, only Maskerlin's black box "The Thing" can communicate with electricity only to tell them that the workers are going to shut the superstore down. (Trucker's was apdapted into a TV series in 1992 in the UK)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the best books I've ever read.
Review: It's equally thrilling and hilarious, and just as enjoyable the third time through. I'm rather disgruntled to find out that this book is out of print, and only two Amazon.com frequenters have ever read the trilogy, one of which can't even spell. It's very anti-pigeonhole - that is, confusing if you try to classify it in an accepted genre.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Funniest book ever!!!!
Review: Terry Pratchet has done very well with this one and I believe I shall read the other two from the trilogy of the adventurous nomes(Diggers and Wings). I find it hillarious. These nomes live under the floorboards of a Super Market and are led to believe that there is no such thing as an outside (trees and sky are all just silly legends to them) and they beleive that the manager of the store is some kind of God. I suggest this book to every child aged 12-14. Best book ever!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Truckers is a real classic.
Review: Terry Pratchett (Author of the Discworld series) is a really good author about Gnomes and other worlds, Truckers is the first story to Pratchett's Gnome trilogy. Maskerlin, a gnome who is among a family of outside Gnomes, journeys to the floor boards of a hugh supermarket, which is a inside colony full of gnomes who have never been outside before. Maskerlin and the gnomes recieve Soul destroying news from the gnomes device called The thing, which can communicate with electricity that the Supermarket is going to be closed. Maskerlin must plan a escape to the outside world before the humans destroy the whole supermarket. (Truckers is followed by Diggers And Wings)
