I've only actually read the colour of magic so far but anyhow. It was so utterly confusing at first and it wasn't until I reached page 100 that I actually understood what was going on. I really enjoyed it after that, especially the bit titled The Sending of Eight. The dragons were pretty cool too but then I got to Close TO THE EDGE and that's when it got confusing again and I was trying to finish it extremely quickly. I might read the next discworld novel just to ssee if it's better, but I won't read it with relish.

This book is amazing, I want to get my hands on all the rest now too. It's a cross between Douglas Adams and Tolkien. Rivetingly satirical, bitingly witty, pokes fun at itself and other sci-fi/fantasy books (in this one I saw references to Anne MacCaffrey's Pern series). Again absolutely amazing, I love the Discworld.

I own it in print. I own it on CD. I own the movie. In other words, I like it.

The plot is super hilarious. One of the must read comedy-fiction apart from Jeeves.

While different from my usually genre I loved this book. I enjoyed the humor and pure silliness in it. At times I had to double check to make sure I read what I just thought I read and then laugh. I can't wait to get the other books in the discworld series.

only my persistence in reading this book made it worthwhile in the end. the colour of magic starts off terribly, but picks up rapidly in creating a hilarious and physically ridiculous world with equally ridiculous characters. as a physicist i thoroughly enjoyed it.

This is where it all began for terry Pratchett and his discworld. The discworld is a series I love to dip in and out of. The books themselves can range from brilliance to inpenetrable bonkers and everywhere in between. At his best, Pratchett can have me bent double and crying with laughter. At worst I read from cover to cover and feel like I've just read the script for one of the wierder Simpsons episodes. Personal faves in the series include: Mort, Guards Guards and Maskerade to name a few. Oh and it's worth noting what someone said to me a while back, the latter ones aren't as good but are still fun if you're strike it lucky.
