Though this discworld novel falls outside of the various groupings of books Pratchett has created (such as the group of night watch books, or Rincewind books), there are still several familiar faces. It’s funny and inventive, full of fun anachronisms, and even a little sweet at times.

I’m a big fan of hollywood history, and I love the fantasy spin on in that Pratchett has put on it here. One of my favorite Pratchett books! This is actually a re-purchase as my old paperback copy fell apart from being read so many times. Review #2 Moving Pictures audiobook in series Discworld Nobody can turn a phrase like the Brits, from Saki to Wodehouse to Pratchett to a lot more I probably don’t know about. But frankly, all of Pratchett’s work is charming, whimsical, ironic and just plain hysterical, so you really can’t go wrong with any of them. I personally like the Weird Sisters series, Mort and its sequels, and the Men of the Nightwatch series. Oddly, I would also not recommend the first Disc World book (The Color of Magic). He has lots of repeating characters and some of the humor in his works comes from the reader’s familiarity with them. If you have not read Pratchett, I would not necessarily recommend this as the first book to read. This one has even more elements of parody than some of them.

All Pratchett’s books are 5 star in my estimation. If you have read Terry Pratchett, you already know that any of his books will make you snort with laughter when you least expect it, and this one is no exception.
