“If not you, who else?”

I enjoyed this fun YA story, it reminded me of The Last Starfighter. What if your game aliens weren‘t just in your game, but actually real & searching for help! Plus with Pratchett there‘s always an underlining meaning, think before you automatically push that fire button, just because it‘s what you are supposed to do, doesn‘t mean you should do it!

The introduction alone...explaining the story that is now a bit dated, made me smile. So sadly true! 🙈😱😂

Gezemice Yeah that intro was good and necessary... I read it a week ago. Very much needs the time explained. 5y

so-so

Meh. Definitely NOT my favorite Pratchett. I'm chalking this up to it being dated, because there were several cringe inducing moments. This is the September book for the #OokBOokClub, though, so I'll save more of my comments for that discussion :-)

CarolynM I think it probably is dated. I remember reading it when it first came out and being delighted by the fact he was writing about a game I'd been playing (very badly) - and that was a long, long time ago! 5y

Iblu I audio read it as well for the #OokBookClub. I guess I am too in love with the Discworld setting but I appreciated some of the tricks for the interfacing between the two worlds. AND it helped me discover there is a Johnny Maxwell set of stories I did not know about!! 5y

gossamerchild @Iblu that's true. I am pleasantly surprised by how many Pratchett books there are in not familiar with. Gimme them all, even the so-so ones 😁 5y

Iblu @gossamerchild indeed!👋👋 5y

Well I did it. I finished it. Amazing what you can do when you put your mind to it. And when you're stuck on a train for over an hour.

It was a really enjoyable story. Terry Pratchett is witty and clever as always.
Still no idea why I found it so hard to get through though.

"Humans seemed much better at ideas. They always seemed to be on the verge of being totally insane, but it seemed to work for them. The inside of their heads would be an interesting place to visit but she wouldn't want to live there" - pg 134

Hi!
Shiny new book related social media? Colour me intrigued and let me play!

I've been picking at this book for ages. Not sure why as I usually devour TP books. I am enjoying it, but I'm not reading pages and pages like I usually do.
But I am determined to finish it! I'm 3/4 through. Lets use this train journey wisely!
