I thought Terry Pratchett, The Colour of Magic was a very enjoyable book. I felt that at times, it went a bit off and it was hard to follow, but when it gets better, it's a very, very, very good book indeed. I feel that the general audience should be from about 15-17 onwards. I'm doing a review for it at school at the moment and think this may be good practice. But I agree with "Guest" if there are any fantasy fans who might want a change, read it. It's a fantasy/comedy/roman...nah/action/etc. It can be very gripping at times like when their being chased by dragons near Wyrmberg. That's very well wirtten, but it's a well written book in general and I give praise to Terry Pratchett and congratulate him on being so successful, and you probably know why.

Terry Pratchett, The Colour of Magic (A Discworld Novel - Terry Pratchett's really mad (in a good sense) to make a book like this. Anyways, I appreciate him very much as a writer. He cast a spell on me with this book-as it's the first of his books that I've read. It takes a lot of imagination to write this; don't be surprised if you meet some crazy and unlogical things such as the walking chest...got quite a laugh there... Pratchett's book's main function is humour, or at least that's the way I see it.He expresses the world in it full disgusting form-giving it a few modifications. Cities (Ankh-Morporc) are caricaturized, but all for a greater good. The storyline's completely unpredictable and humorous as you follow pretty wierd and witty characters on their journey: anything-but-not-handy-wizard Rincewind and naive tourist, dragons who egzist only if you believe in them...what else do you need? Just grab the book and start reading. But be cautious..it's HIGHLY addictive.
