Well, I have just finished this book, and I really enjoyed it. I have never read a book by Pratchett before, but I will proababaly get a few more now.
It is written very well, with a lot of humour in it. I really do dnot know what else to say other than I would definitley recommend it!
This is probably a book my girls coud read in a few years time...
A 71/2 out of 10 (Maybe 8
)

Well, this is very different to what I ususllay read. Although, it is similar to James Herbert's style.....

Although a children's book - this is one which can be enjoyed by both adults and children alike. Pratchett has a humorous view of the human race and this is a delightful book to read!
He is one of my Hubby's favourite authors, and now perhaps I can move onto the other Discoworld novels - hell; we have 27 of them and I have never touched them...it is good to try a different author ! Thanks Bushbaby....! :thumbs:

I finished the book over the weekend, and I really enjoyed it. It is also along the lines of Harry Potter and written in the same kind of language (although the puns and use of language is better
).
I would also give the book a 7/10.
