  <default-description>There are strange goings-on at the Opera House in Ankh-Morpork.  A  ghost in a white mask is murdering, well, quite a lot of people, and two witches (it really isn't wise to call them &quot;meddling, interfering old baggages&quot;), or perhaps three, take a hand in unraveling the mystery. Fans of the popular Discworld will be happy to see some old friends again in &lt;I&gt;Maskerade&lt;/I&gt;, the 18th novel in the series. &lt;I&gt;--Blaise Selby&lt;/I&gt;</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[I decided to re-read Masquerade after some friends of mine first became obsessed with The Phantom of the Opera. I didn't like the story, so I decided to see what kind of spin Terry Pratchett would have. As usual, I wasn't disappointed. His characters are, as ever, larger than life, and even the obno...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76336439">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Terry Pratchett applies the Discworld spin to the Phantom of the Opera.  <br/><br/>This was good fun, it was great to catch up with Nanny Ogg and Granny Weatherwax again as well.  There's also something weirdly alluring about the human form of Greebo as well (there's something about dark dangerous...]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This one parodies &quot;The Phantom of the Opera.&quot; Takes place in Ankh-Morpork but features the Witches, sans Magrat. Agnes, one of the upstart young witches in Lords and Ladies, goes to Ankh-Morpork to make it big in the opera. She's heavy-set with a wonderful voice, perfect opera material, ri...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/22757428">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book is hilarious. I really think it is my new favorite. It is a funny, left-of-center twist on Phantom, but the humor and the characters were really endearing. Plus, it makes fun of opera and orchestras, which I found endlessly amusing - maybe because I work at a symphony/opera company - but h...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/38191408">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I wasn't as wild about the ending with this book. It had the usual wrap-it-up-with-everyone-happy-or-mostly-happy-anyway ending, but it seemed just a little unfair for at least one of the characters. Anyway, hysterical and fun, but that goes without saying for a Discworld novel. And, as is starting ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/23407436">more...</a>]]></body>
