I've only just read this. Have I been hiding under a rock? No. I enjoyed the films and I just read this to my 9 year old daughter. The thing is, when this came out it was the perfect time for me to NOT read it. It first came out in 1997. At the time I was twenty and wasn't really reading much. I was spending most of my time smoking cigarettes, drinking and rocking out with our band - 'The Liability Crisis'. At that time I probably ONLY read Terry Pratchett. I also think I wouldn't have enjoyed t ...more

Very enjoyable read even if you are an adult.
It would probably have been a 5 star rating, but I don't share the nostalgia that most on here have for these books. I only just recently started reading them in my 20s, I know I would have loved them if I had read them when I was much younger. It's obviously meant for a much younger audience so the writing is a bit simple. Great for a light read.
I fully intend to read the rest of the series as soon as I can get my hands on them.

For those trying to co ...more
