gossamerchild The interactions with the humans are just hilarious. I can imagine how befuddling it was to wake up and see that note under my face. Not to mention being tied up in the first place. So funny! 6y

rockpools I agree @gossamerchild ! Such a fun read - I‘ll definitely be going back to read Truckers. I thought Grimma and Dorcas made a great pairing. And I lost far too much of my life googling Bromeliad tree frogs! 6y
TheSpineView I too loved the humor but I also liked how Pratchett stuck important ideas into the story. For example, "If you have a purpose in life, you can feel six inches tall." He was subtle about this.

Gezemice I read all three at the same time - when three Pratchett books come in one volume, what else can you do? This was fun but I felt it was rather similar to the first one - must escape from endangered habitat via driving a vehicle, and there are power struggles, etc. I did enjoy Grimma and Dorcas. And there was some commentary on the dangers of religious fanatism, too. 6y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa I‘ll agree with all of thee above, I read ahead into the next part because I just had to see how the other group made out with their half of the adventure. And yes @RachelO I loved the frogs, and @TheSpineView and @Gezemice how Pratchett weaves in those little moral and witty commentaries on society into his stories. 6y
Iblu Really liked the trilogy, again full of witty symbolism and reflections on many aspects of human life. Love the effort of seeing things through the fresh eyes of a different species. Sir Terry had such a rich fantasy and used it so well to talk about small and big paradoxes of life... 6y
julesG @Iblu Glad you caught up! I liked the trilogy but am a Discworld person. I enjoy the witticisms and marvel at Sir Terry's skill,though. 6y
