I loved this book! And I've read a lot of Magical-Person-Comes-Of-Age books. Funny, touching, original, this one has it all. If you haven't read it, get thee to the library! ...more

Such a delightful read!

I admire the writing style of Terry Pratchett and the way he combines it with humour. This book makes fun of inequality between men/women, satirizing our society’s problems by the way of witches and wizards. It made me laugh. Not just a fantasy novel, but much more.

‘I’m not a lady, I’m a witch’ ... think I will start greeting people this way:-)

It's taken me a while to dip my toes into the Discworld but I'm so glad that I have. Funny and creative with endearing characters and real heart. I wish I'd started earlier!

I can't wait to read more Discworld but the sheer number of books in this series is rather overwhelming and, the completionist that I am is quite terrified! I think I will continue with the 'witches' books and just take it from them. ...more

Hilariously funny and makes some good points about gender roles and expectations without being too preachy. An excellent introduction to Granny Weatherwax and witchery.
