I laughed so much I was sick
My book review on Terry Pratchet’s Interesting
Times . Last night I was sick on Terry Pratchet’s Interesting Times .I
would recommend this book to you for these reasons : 1. It is very funny
and humorous 2. Terry has a brill style of writing!! 3. It’s just generally,
all round, brilliant !!!! I would not however, recommend this book to kids
under nine years old . The characters are : Rincewind, the wizzard who
can’t even spell wizard, Cohen, the barbarian who’s had a lifetimes experience
of not dying, Twoflower, the man who sent Rincewind off on his adventures
, and many more. Rincewind finds himself lost without the luggage, on the
counterweight continent, where gold is as common as copper and their worst
curse is, "may you live in interesting times". I give this book 60/100,
and I give Terry Pratchet 95/100. If you ever get to read this Terry, you’re
my favourite writer Written by Ben Bessey nine years old

No one is safe with Pratchett
Again, a sacred cow gets skewered in this new
installment. Frankly, I do not enjoy the character of Rincewind as much
as some of the other characters like Om and Brutha, but Pratchett's new
target, the over traditonal societies that remind me heavily of Ancient
Europe and China, have been begging to be cut to ribbons. No one is safe
again, and where else can you learn about the several different meanings
of AAARRRGGGH!!! ? Fun and inventive.

Amusing,entertaining,good morale and often
hilarious.
Oversimplified biased view of the east notwithstanding,
this book has lot to teach our young people (and the chronically old) about
correct outlook on life and poeple and teaches it with out pissing the
reader off. If only these bloody English authors can get it in to their
heads that the world has non-Anglo Saxon saviours..... --This text refers

As always,Rincewind, the incompetent wizard who
can't even spell his name right,is pure delight, as Terry Pratchett tackles
the issues of War (and his sons Fear and Panic, and daughter Clancy) and
free speech over the amazing and revolutionary treastise "What I I did
on my Summer Holydys." Wonderful stuff.

The Wizzard returns
Well, he had to come back one way or another,
and once again Pratchett wheels you into a story that will make you laugh
out loudlyfor a few seconds, only to realise that you're in a packed train
on your way to work... Highly recomended to all Chaos Theorists >=o) --This

One of the better DW novels, and that's saying
a lot
Brilliant, hilarious. One of those books where
Pratchett blends humour and philosophy perfectly. A Must read for Pratchett
fans, people interested in china, and people who want to laugh and think
at the same time. --This text refers to the hardcover edition of this

absolutely hilarious, Terry's best Discworld
so far!
If you like the Discworld, do not miss this one!
First: Rincewind is back and at his best! Second: Luggage ist back! Third:
Cohen the Barbarian is back (and a bit older!) I laughed so much, I dropped
the book twice during reading. AB =) --This text refers to the hardcover
