Discworld discovers the unique magic of the silver screen & moving pictures. It goes about as well as you could expect. & will make you cry.

While this story is humorous, it‘s also an examination of the creation & destruction of dreams, the fine balance of solace/oblivion one can find in media. & how the real heroes are the ones that aren‘t recognized. 1 of the more bittersweet Discworld novels. & goddamn but it made me cry. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

BookmarkTavern @julesG Intellectually, I know that. But this is one of the Discworld books I hadn‘t read before. And the way he writes that last little bit was intense. 23h

Preordered months ago, it came as a surprise - especially since the Pub Day is 7th November. 😁

Also, thanks DHL, ramming it into my postbox didn't hurt the book at all. 🙄🤬😡

Discworld, Hollywood and Cthulhu all get mixed up chaotically together in this novel. I enjoyed all the references to old movies and Hollywood stars, and I especially loved Gaspode the Wonder Dog!

THIS is the Pratchett I‘ve been waiting for thus far in the Rincewind books! (It helped that Rincewind basically only shows up here in cameos 😆) The jokey bits are woven into a much more focused plot, with actual character development and a compelling underlying message of common humanity (whether or not the characters are human!). I adored Nutt, and the football was hilarious. Do we get more Nutt in later books? I need more Nutt! #OokBookClub

BookmarkTavern Totally agree! 💖 4w
willaful Yes, the less Rincewind the better. 😂 I never realized my mom was quoting this when she yells “change and decay!“ 4w

I loved this installment of the #Discworld series, which has the wizards discovering the game of football. This one introduces wonderful characters Glenda, Nutt, Juliet and Trevor but it also features a number of Discworld favourites.
