Reviews / Votes
In every sense fantastic * Independent * Pratchett's one-liners, the comic dialogue of the Feegles, the satire about teenagers and the credulousness of the ordinary folk make for a characteristically entertaining mix * The Sunday Times * Terry Pratchett kicks the bejaysus out of JK Rowling . . . If you haven't read Pratchett before then give yourself a treat and buy this book * In Dublin * Exhuberant energy and humour * The Children's Bookseller * Charming in every sense of the word. Beautifully written and at times highly comic, it is an extraordinary achievement * Books for Keeps * Sure to be as popular with both children and adults as all his other books * Croydon Advertiser * Lively wit, sly wisdom and compelling narratives * Leicester Mercury * Pratchett's usual mix of uproarious comedy and deceptively serious thought * Southern Daily Echo * He's probably the funniest writer in English today . . . great themes with huge doses of comedy * South Wales Evening Post * Funny and winning as ever * Nottingham Evening Post *More details
