I liked this story. I'm glad I listened to it, the accents are so much better than what would happen in my head if I was reading it.
Delightful! Sometimes the book would get a little scary but then the wee free men would show up and everything would be alright. I don't generally read fantasy, I'm more of a science fiction guy, but every Pratchett book I have read has been great
This was my first Terry Pratchett book ever, so I'm not quite sure what to think. I don't know what I was expecting, but whatever it was, I didn't expect it to be so - thought-provoking, I guess - on so many levels. I definitely want to read more. It's a world I can get easily lost in!
