This was the book which introduced me to the magical, hilarious world of Terry Pratchett, so it will always be one of my favourites. It introduced me to a world with characters such as the luggage (with legs!) and the mordant, dark humour of Death (who ends up having his own book, Mort), and many, many others. Whenever I get a bit down, it's Pratchett's Discworld I plunge into; the characters may be as stupid & as venal as those in our world, but Terry always ensures that the good/right triumph in their own shambolic way, with a little help from fate/luck/chance.
Triumphantly therapeutic reading...

Hur beräknas betyg?
För att beräkna det totala stjärnbetyget och den procentuella fördelningen per stjärna använder vi inte ett enkelt medelvärde. Istället tar vårt system hänsyn till saker som till exempel hur nyligen en recension har gjorts och om recensenten köpte artikeln på Amazon. Det analyserar också recensioner för att verifiera deras trovärdighet.

What’s the fuss about ?
Granskad i Storbritannien den 15 januari 2020Verifierat köp
I was recommended this series for my 11 year old , who is a prolific reader . He handed it back to me after 50 pages as he just couldn’t follow what was going on ... and wasn’t intrigued enough to persevere . So I had a go ... it took me a while to figure out was going on , more than the 50 pages my son managed. It was very densely and imaginatively written , lots of detail about the characters and their environs . Terry Pratchetts mind must have been a very crowded place! I liked the dry humour in places , but the plot itself really just didn’t grab me . The writing felt too detailed for the strength of the plot. I doubt I’ll pick up another Terry Pratchett book - a shame , my son works through authors so quickly

The beginning of a beautiful adventure!
Granskad i Storbritannien den 2 april 2016Verifierat köp
There is not much for me to say that has not already been said about The Colour of Magic and Terry Pratchett's books. This was the first book of his that I read many years ago, followed by The Light Fantastic, but, after that, I read them in random order, as I would find them.
When I heard of Terry Pratchett's death, I decided that the time has come to re-read the Discworld series and this time, in the correct order.
The Colour of Magic is the very first of the series, the only one (as far as I am aware, I still have a few of the most recent ones that I have not read) that is not a standalone but a two parts story, along with The Light Fantastic, introducing us to the Discwold Universe and to many of the characters that we will be seeing in the following books. Rincewind is the very first protagonist and will star in a number of Discworld
books.
The style and expression are different from the following books but the humour (laughing out loud when reading in the bus to work!) and the philosophy (sometimes, it feels as if I can find the answers to all of life's big questions in here!) are present.
It is very upsetting to think that there are no more Discworld novels, so I plan to take my time and enjoy re-reading them!
Even though i have enjoyed other titles more, for me this book rates 5 stars because it is the one that got me hooked to this wonderfully crazy, magical, flat, literally flat, so different and yet, surprisingly similar to our own, universe!

Modern day classic
Granskad i Storbritannien den 7 februari 2019Verifierat köp
This is the one that started everything off. Thank the spirits that the publishers had faith. Not only is it a cracking ( or cracked) story, but on listening to it for the third time in a week, I realized there was a subtle dig at modern society,
and rightly so. Well worth the investment.

The start of an adventure into the imagination
Granskad i Storbritannien den 25 augusti 2017Verifierat köp
After listening to Sir Terry Pratchett through YouTube and the BBC, I have decided to correct a wrong and begin reading all the Discworld novels. This is the first one. I was not disappointed. This is a novel of some fantastic invention. The ideas within are fantastic and Sir Terry creates some wonderful images in the imagination. He describes the Discworld, and it is an amazing thing to behold.
The adventures are great, but could appear a bit disjointed. This was not a problem for me. There are some stunning things here to keep your imagination sharpened. I think the imagination is very important. Highly recommended. I will certainly be reading more about the Discworld.
