The eighth son of an eighth son is a wizard but the eighth son of a wizard is a wizard squared a source of power, a Sourcerer. When a young Sourcerer turns up at the Unseen University it falls to Rincewind, the Discs worst wizard, to save the world along with the Luggage and the daughter of the Discs greatest hero.
While I do think it is worth a low four out of five, `Sourcery' has never been one of my favourite Discworld books and it is probably one of the weakest of the Wizards series. I don't know what it is I dislike about the book as the characters are interesting and while the plot is a little light it is nonetheless as funny as any of the early Discworld books. As well as this the final confrontation with the Sourcerer is also very good.
One of the things I dislike about the book is that the Luggage, while still having some great scenes, does seem to be underused as if Terry couldn't think of what to do with it in some places. Other than this and the usual slight difference in style of the early books to the superior books later in the series, I cannot quite put my figure on why I dislike the book.
Despite my dislike of `Sourcery' I would still give it four stars as it is nonetheless entertaining and worth reading by any Discworld fan.

Recension
• "Like Jonathan Swift, Pratchett uses his other world to hold up a distorting mirror to our own, and like Swift he is a satirist of enormous talent... incredibly funny... compulsively readable." --The Times
• "His spectacular inventiveness makes the Discworld series one of the perennial joys of modern fiction." --Mail on Sunday

Hur kundrecensioner och betyg fungerar
Kundrecensioner, inklusive stjärnrecensioner av produkter, hjälper kunder att lära sig mer om produkten och avgöra om det är rätt produkt för dem.
Vi använder inte ett enkelt medelvärde för att beräkna den totala stjärnrecensionen och den procentuella fördelningen per stjärna. 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.

Starring Rincewind as the failed wizzard (who couldn't even spell wizard!)
Granskad i Storbritannien den 8 juni 2016
Not my favourite Discworld novel, but I cannot complain on how fast this novel arrived (once again, thank you, Prime).
In terms of knowledge for this novel, readers will need to know- Actually, you could figure it out for yourselves, as people with a mad imagination could only read these, including myself, in fact. I suppose it is a bit of a sequel to Equal Rites, what with the seventh son of the seventh son and all.
Still, it is as enjoyable as any Discworld novel.

If you're a nut like me then you'll buy them without thinking...

I'm not going to review the novel - it's been done many times before and enjoyed by millions. The latest edition of the hardback makes a smart display set - the paper's not that great but then who reads books these days - with everything available on tablet.... I may even sell off my first editions and just keep these

Pratchett Rules British Humour
Granskad i Storbritannien den 9 juli 2018
Terry wrote my kind of humour and I can identify with him. Disclworld is classic british satirical humour and play on words. Very clever and very funny.
