I am so glad this is over my head hurts。 I begin to see the lure of Terry Pratchett for some but it is just too complicated for me

Quite far-fetched for me。 Suitable for teenagers to embark into a fantasy， hilarious and strange world。

Ocena: 4Wrażenia: Ech， te początki， kiedy Sir Pratchett dopiero się zaczyna rozkręcać。。。 Postanowiłam nadrobić wszyściuteńko po kolei （kiedy już na nowości liczyć nie można， sniff）。 Rincewind i Dwukwiat i rewelacyjne tłumaczenie i już już， szybko trzeba sięgać po kolejny tom， bo to uzależnia。 Dla kogo: Dla tych， którzy również pragną mieć Bagaż。

Divertido y fácil de leer。 Este libro resultan 4 cuentos independientes con los dos mismos protagonistas。 Aunque resulta entretenido， reconozco que me ha costado leerlo más que el de brujerías。 Sin embargo， te enseña más aún del mundodisco， lo veo necesario para conocer cómo funciona la magia， como funciona la política， la geografía e incluso las deidades y el culto a estas。 De nuevo aparece la muerte que me sigue resultando un personaje encantador

This was okay。 The second half of the book was better than the first。 Lots of people have told me that The Colour of Magic isn't the best in the Discworld series， so I will probably persist and see what The Light Fantastic has to offer。 This was okay。 The second half of the book was better than the first。 Lots of people have told me that The Colour of Magic isn't the best in the Discworld series， so I will probably persist and see what The Light Fantastic has to offer。 。。。more

Read this for a book club and。。。 meh。 The world was super interesting， and it had some funny lines。 But all in all I just found it kind of boring， not a lot of substance。 Listened to it on audio and had trouble focusing on it， ultimately just rushing through it much faster than planned because I wanted to get it done and over with。 This seems to be a common opinion for this particular book however， even among Pratchett fans， so I'm still going to keep trying books in this world。 Read this for a book club and。。。 meh。 The world was super interesting， and it had some funny lines。 But all in all I just found it kind of boring， not a lot of substance。 Listened to it on audio and had trouble focusing on it， ultimately just rushing through it much faster than planned because I wanted to get it done and over with。 This seems to be a common opinion for this particular book however， even among Pratchett fans， so I'm still going to keep trying books in this world。 。。。more

Caótico con algunos momentos graciosos。 Abuso de la elipsis。 Le daré otra oportunidad a la saga porque se nota que es una primera novela。 Sin duda， lo mejor son las últimas 4 páginas， pero hay 280 más para llegar hasta allí。 No dudo que haya gente que le guste， desde luego no es para mí。

Had that classic spirit of adventure！ Plus a nice mixing of fantasy and scifi elements。

7/10It took me a little bit to get into Pratchett's style of writing， which was a bit more whimsical and less serious than I'm used to， but I really enjoyed it！The story was light but by no means weak， and I think that just gave Pratchett the opportunity to explore the world on A'Tuin's back， including the gods that rule it and a little about the magic woven throughout it。 I look forward to reading a few more of the fourty-one（！！！） books， getting to know more of the characters more deeply！ 7/10It took me a little bit to get into Pratchett's style of writing， which was a bit more whimsical and less serious than I'm used to， but I really enjoyed it！The story was light but by no means weak， and I think that just gave Pratchett the opportunity to explore the world on A'Tuin's back， including the gods that rule it and a little about the magic woven throughout it。 I look forward to reading a few more of the fourty-one（！！！） books， getting to know more of the characters more deeply！ 。。。more

I think if you are a Pratchett fan， and know his work， then you will enjoy this book。 However， I would not have enjoyed it as much if I had not read some of his later books first。 I would recommend reading some of his later work before coming back to this book。 Still， brilliantly satirical， funny and immersive。

Just not my cup of tea-our funnies aren't meshing well， unfortunately。 And apparently this isn't the best place to start with this series （at least from what I've heard）。 Maybe will revisit Discworld some other time with a different book。 dnf @ 20% Just not my cup of tea-our funnies aren't meshing well， unfortunately。 And apparently this isn't the best place to start with this series （at least from what I've heard）。 Maybe will revisit Discworld some other time with a different book。 dnf @ 20% 。。。more

I just don't think that absurdist fiction is for me。 This is a good book， it just wasn't for me。 It was too absurd， I did not like being pulled from the story for side information。 And some of the things that happened were just ridiculous。 I can see why people love it， it is just not for me。 I do plan to continue， but I think I might like it better through audio。 I just don't think that absurdist fiction is for me。 This is a good book， it just wasn't for me。 It was too absurd， I did not like being pulled from the story for side information。 And some of the things that happened were just ridiculous。 I can see why people love it， it is just not for me。 I do plan to continue， but I think I might like it better through audio。 。。。more

I read this some time ago but have recently decided to read the whole Discworld series from start to finish。 I had forgotten the comic genius and brilliant lateral thinking Terry Pratchett brought into our lives。

Marvellous！ Imaginative！ and disjointed in the best possible way。 Fear the luggage。

The setting is really cool and the idea of a guided tour through the world for the first book of the series allows the story to just explore its setting。 The humor is interesting especially with some the translation jokes which did make me crack up a bit。

Meh。 Didn’t love it， didn’t hate it。 Felt like it was trying a bit hard to be silly。 I’ll attempt a few more I think。

I had heard that the first Discworld novel is a bit unrefined and actually not a strong entry point for the series。 This turned out to be pretty true。 I found the world-building stuff fun and interesting， but The Color of Magic was really all over the place and pretty taxing at times。 If I return to the series， I'll likely skip ahead to one of the more acclaimed entries。 I had heard that the first Discworld novel is a bit unrefined and actually not a strong entry point for the series。 This turned out to be pretty true。 I found the world-building stuff fun and interesting， but The Color of Magic was really all over the place and pretty taxing at times。 If I return to the series， I'll likely skip ahead to one of the more acclaimed entries。 。。。more
