But yeah, book 8, Guards Guards is where the series truly starts. But around that point he figures it out and the next 25 are awesome. Pratchett deserved to be tried in the Hague for book titling crimes

Yeah the first 2 discworld books are p bad tbh It’s a series that took time to find its footing.Īnd you don't remember what I said here, either, but it was pompous and stupid. The first couple discworld books are a little rough, in an early Simpsons kind of way. Sort of.Īlso, don't read the Robert Rankin books. It has wizards and witches but is not about them beyond their petty interpersonal squabbles. Discworld is a platform (pun!) that Pratchett used to parody and satirize the modern world.

Because the thing about football - the important thing about football - is that it is not just about football.I just want wizards to gruesomely kill people in a grotesque adolescent power fantasy, is that too much to ask? As the match approaches, four lives are entangled and changed for ever. The prospect of the Big Match draws in a street urchin with a wonderful talent for kicking a tin can, a maker of jolly good pies, a dim but beautiful young woman, who might just turn out to be the greatest fashion model there has ever been, and the mysterious Mr Nutt (and no one knows anything much about Mr Nutt, not even Mr Nutt, which worries him, too). And now the wizards of Unseen University must win a football match, without using magic, so they're in the mood for trying everything else. As the match approaches, four lives are entangled and changed for ever.īecause the thing about football - the important thing about football - is that it is not just about football.ĭESCRIPTION : Football has come to the ancient city of Ankh-Morpork.
