Summary
In the beginning， there was nothing but endless flatness。 Then came the Carpet。。。
That's the old story everyone knows and loves （even if they don't really believe it）。 But now the Carpet is home to many different tribes and peoples and there's a new story in the making。 The story of Fray， sweeping a trail of destruction across the Carpet。 The story of power-hungry mouls - and of two Munrung brothers， who set out on an adventure to end all adventures when their village is flattened。
It's a story that will come to a terrible end - if someone doesn't do something about it。 If everyone doesn't do something about it。。。
A hilarious fantasy， co-written by Terry Pratchett， aged seventeen， and master storyteller， Terry Pratchett， aged forty-three。

I am a huge fan of Terry Pratchett so the chance of listening to The Carpet People audiobook with David Tennant narrating I couldn't turn down！！This book features absolutely wonderful characters and I'll be honest I certainly look at my carpet differently now！ The story features such characters as Glurk ， Snibril and Pismire （ my personal favourite character） ， animals such as snargs and pones and there is the Fray a phenomenon causing havoc。 The way that Terry Pritchett describes the characters I am a huge fan of Terry Pratchett so the chance of listening to The Carpet People audiobook with David Tennant narrating I couldn't turn down！！This book features absolutely wonderful characters and I'll be honest I certainly look at my carpet differently now！ The story features such characters as Glurk ， Snibril and Pismire （ my personal favourite character） ， animals such as snargs and pones and there is the Fray a phenomenon causing havoc。 The way that Terry Pritchett describes the characters and the setting really does paint a picture in your mind。 You can imagine these little people living in the carpet and how much 'the fray' would effect them 。 He is definitely my favourite fantasy author， I don't think his books will ever age they are timeless and I loved this audiobook format ， I would definitely recommend it ， David Tennant does an amazing job of the voices ！I received a copy of this audiobook for free in return of a review by Netgalley 。。。more

My least favourite Pratchett I’ve read， but still pretty good as he was a genius。 Can’t believe he wrote this at 17。 You can definitely see his tone emerging。

Thank you to the publisher Penguin Random House UK Audio， RHCP Digital and NetGalley for a copy of this work for review。 The Carpet People is a story of how the Carpet became full of life。 With its different tribes and ways of life。 Unfortunately， I didn't get very far into this audio， which is saying something as it is so short to begin with。 I didn't even finish the first chapter in fact。 Why？ you ask。 At only 4% = 10 or so minutes， I already felt that there were racist vibes。 Firstly， we were Thank you to the publisher Penguin Random House UK Audio， RHCP Digital and NetGalley for a copy of this work for review。 The Carpet People is a story of how the Carpet became full of life。 With its different tribes and ways of life。 Unfortunately， I didn't get very far into this audio， which is saying something as it is so short to begin with。 I didn't even finish the first chapter in fact。 Why？ you ask。 At only 4% = 10 or so minutes， I already felt that there were racist vibes。 Firstly， we were told that these people were not stupid， yet Pratchett goes on to describe them as such。 This could be over looked if it was deemed as sarcasm from the characters point of view。 However， Pratchett then goes on to describe the shaman as clean， unlike other shaman and that he also didn't wear bones and feathers like the other shamans' did。 Then there is a horrifying part where we are given a sample of what other shamans' spoke。 This was actually stomach turning and happened more than once。 The only thing I liked about the audio was that David Tennant seemed to be doing a good job。 But this was still tainted by the contents of the work。 I feel shocked that Tennant would agree to work with such a piece。。 Perhaps the fact that this piece is fifty years old is more of an indication of how out off date it is rather then how great a work it is。 I for one differently think this piece has served it;s time and that it may be better to let it rest in peace。 It may have been better to focus on Pratchett's better works if there are any。 As my first taste of his work I am left with a bad taste。。 I may try some of his later works in the hopes that he developed both in writing and morally。 I will be DNFing this work and never allow any child I know to read it。 Very disappointing。 I'm giving it one star and that is because of David Tennant's voice acting。 。。。more

I'm an adult who listened to this children's story and thoroughly enjoyed it。 The story telling is witty and clever， with the underlying message that we are more similar than we are different。 It's made me take another look at my carpets！ The narrator was very good as well， his reading definitely lifted the telling of the story。Recommended。 I'm an adult who listened to this children's story and thoroughly enjoyed it。 The story telling is witty and clever， with the underlying message that we are more similar than we are different。 It's made me take another look at my carpets！ The narrator was very good as well， his reading definitely lifted the telling of the story。Recommended。 。。。more

Sometimes a review feels like nothing but an explanation for the star rating。 With this one， I could simply say "The Carpet People was written by TERRY PRATCHETT" and leave it at that！ This is one of the funniest books I've "read" for a very long time， and David Tennant's narration gave the book a lot of life and added to the humour。 Simple story， simple characters， all with a Terry Pratchett twist that makes them far from simple。 I absolutely loved it。My thanks to the author， publisher， and Net Sometimes a review feels like nothing but an explanation for the star rating。 With this one， I could simply say "The Carpet People was written by TERRY PRATCHETT" and leave it at that！ This is one of the funniest books I've "read" for a very long time， and David Tennant's narration gave the book a lot of life and added to the humour。 Simple story， simple characters， all with a Terry Pratchett twist that makes them far from simple。 I absolutely loved it。My thanks to the author， publisher， and NetGalley。 This review was written voluntarily and is entirely my own， unbiased， opinion。 。。。more

Early work from the brilliant mind of Terry Pratchett， which gives an introduction to his signature humour and style of writing。 The story in itself is clearly an early work， you can tell the difference between this and his later works as he has honed his skills。 Still the story is nice to read and perfect for all ages， with some disguised humour for adults。Having listened to the audiobook version of this book， it was only proved by having the lovely voice of David Tennant narrating it。

I love the stories of Terry Pratchett， and I love David Tennant as an actor – so when I saw that an ARC of Pratchett’s The Carpet People” narrated by David Tennant was available on NetGalley， I just had to request it。 It fully lived up to my expectations。 David Tennant is a wonderful narrator – giving each character its own voice， often own accent to represent its tribe， position， class etc: King Brocando speaks with a posh English accent， and the evil Moul， Jornarileesh， just oozes with menace。 I love the stories of Terry Pratchett， and I love David Tennant as an actor – so when I saw that an ARC of Pratchett’s The Carpet People” narrated by David Tennant was available on NetGalley， I just had to request it。 It fully lived up to my expectations。 David Tennant is a wonderful narrator – giving each character its own voice， often own accent to represent its tribe， position， class etc: King Brocando speaks with a posh English accent， and the evil Moul， Jornarileesh， just oozes with menace。Glurk and Snibril are Mungrung brothers。 Glurk， the tribal chief， is the brawn and Snibril the brains （Though， at one important point， Glurk’s ability to recognise intelligence in others， saves the Munrungs from certain death， and gains them vital allies）。 The Munrung’s peaceful existence is shattered – first by the arrival of the destructive phenomenon， Fray， and then – while they are all bewildered in the chaos – by the attack of the evil Mouls。 The surviving Mungrungs set off to the capital city of the Dumii empire， Ware， to ask for protection （since they are imperial citizens）。 Along the way they meet the Deftmenes， with their petit king， Brocando; the Pones; the Vortorns; and the remarkable Wights。The time-line of the trip to Ware is not linear – mainly due to incredible abilities of the Wights， who “remember the future as well as the past”。。 At one point， Glurk insists: “But first we’ve got to go back to talk to Culaina （a Wight） … to tell her what we have seen。 So she can remember what we tell her now and tell me two days ago。 When I met her。” This is a story of bravery， of never giving up， of fighting against overwhelming odds， of freedom， of self-determination， of history in the making， and of what sort of future you want for yourself and those you care about: “A million times the wights lost， and were killed。 But that was somewhere else， in a world that might have been。 And now they were alive。 And that’s known as History， which is written only by the living。”“They were a strange people， the Dumii。 They thought they were as level headed as a table， as practical as a shovel – and yet， in a great big world full of chaos and darkness， they acted as though they really believed in their little inventions， like ‘law’ and ‘justice’。 And they didn’t have enough imagination to give in。”“And the wights fought like mad things – worse， they fought like sane things， with the very best weapons they’d been able to make， cutting and cutting 。 Like surgeons … Or people who had found out that the best kind of future is one you make yourself。” It is also a book that is full of humour， imagination and puns and everything that made Terry Pratchett the globally loved author that he was – and still is。The one problem I had with the audio version， was that I could not keep all the names and tribes straight in my mind。 I needed a visual link。 So， I bought a paperback copy of the book， and read that along with the audio。 This is NOT a fault with the audio version – which is top class – rather a fault with my brain， which relies on visual prompts: I need the shape of a word or a name （when it is not one I have met before） to understand （and remember） what I am hearing。 The other advantage of my paperback copy， was the wonderful colour drawings that it had， as well as the ability to look back， and check on quotes。 So， this is a review of both the audio （Penguin Random House 2021） and the paperback version （Houghton Mifflin Harcourt 2013）。 Most people would be very happy with just one version， I needed both to fully appreciate this fantastic （literally and figuratively） story。So， whether you like listening to a book， reading a book – or both together – I would highly recommend “The Carpet People” – written and illustrated by Terry Pratchett， and narrated by David Tennant。I received the audio copy from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。 I bought the paperback version myself。 All opinions are my own and not influenced by either the author or publishers。 。。。more

Before Discworld， Terry Pratchett created a carpet planet。 To celebrate the 50th anniversary of this， a new audiobook version has been published。It's narrated by the excellent David Tennant。 I've said before that I love the range of voices he does when telling stories。 This was no exception。 We had everything here including his native Scots accent， his Tenth Doctor voice， Scrooge McDuck， West Country and I think I even heard him attempt a Yoda like voice。 Truly brilliant！David Tennant was the ma Before Discworld， Terry Pratchett created a carpet planet。 To celebrate the 50th anniversary of this， a new audiobook version has been published。It's narrated by the excellent David Tennant。 I've said before that I love the range of voices he does when telling stories。 This was no exception。 We had everything here including his native Scots accent， his Tenth Doctor voice， Scrooge McDuck， West Country and I think I even heard him attempt a Yoda like voice。 Truly brilliant！David Tennant was the main reason I requested a copy from Netgalley so I went into The Carpet People without knowing much about it。 It was such an engaging and enjoyable read。 I found it so witty that I was smiling all the way through。 I admire Terry Pratchett's imagination and creativity。 It's very impressive considering that he wrote this book as a teenager and then returned to it years later。 It will be perfect for readers who want an introduction to Terry Pratchett and also a great choice for Discworld fans。 I will be recommending this to everyone because I loved it。 。。。more

Terry Pratchett is such a good author。 This books， for children， is just as good and entertaining for adults。 His humour and deep plots keep everyone interested。 I love the maddens of the characters and the little comments about human things which relate to the carpet world- burnt edge， wooden cliff， etc。 It’s so clever。 David Tenant was amazing too。 He’s such a good story teller， who wouldn’t want to listen to him read you a story？ He used great voices for each character and he kept the stories Terry Pratchett is such a good author。 This books， for children， is just as good and entertaining for adults。 His humour and deep plots keep everyone interested。 I love the maddens of the characters and the little comments about human things which relate to the carpet world- burnt edge， wooden cliff， etc。 It’s so clever。 David Tenant was amazing too。 He’s such a good story teller， who wouldn’t want to listen to him read you a story？ He used great voices for each character and he kept the stories pace， making it exciting， funny and entertaining。 。。。more

“In the beginning， there was nothing but endless flatness。 Then came the Carpet…”The Carpet People is a story about different tribes and people living in a carpet。 This story follows the uprising of the mouls， snargs and two brothers who go on an adventure。The Carpet People is Terry Pratchett first novel and was published 50 years ago。 Unfortunately， you can tell that this is Pratchett’s first work。 The characterisation is lacking， and I lost interest in the plot pretty quickly。 Furthermore， the “In the beginning， there was nothing but endless flatness。 Then came the Carpet…”The Carpet People is a story about different tribes and people living in a carpet。 This story follows the uprising of the mouls， snargs and two brothers who go on an adventure。The Carpet People is Terry Pratchett first novel and was published 50 years ago。 Unfortunately， you can tell that this is Pratchett’s first work。 The characterisation is lacking， and I lost interest in the plot pretty quickly。 Furthermore， the pacing is rough， and the reader is often left wondering what is going on。 However， reading The Carpet People makes the reader appreciate how much Pratchett writing evolved over his careerMoreover， I appreciate that this book feels like a Pratchett novel。 The Carpet People is filled with humour， absurdity and fantastic themes。 This book displays better ways to handle conflicts than just hitting， belittling or mocking other people’s ideas。 Furthermore， The Carpet People emphasises respecting other people’s culture and that all humans have an intrinsic value。 I read this book through the audiobook performed by David Tennant。 Although I didn’t enjoy this book， David Tennant’s performance was phenomenal。 Tennant makes each character feel distinct， making the narration enjoyable to listen to。 Tennant displays a range of different accents， tones and voices， making each character personality come to life。 Tennant masterfully switches between the characters and does an impressive job narrating this book。 If you want to read this book， then I would highly recommend the audiobook by David Tennant。In conclusion， The Carpet People is a fun， quick read with some great themes。 Unfortunately， the plot and characterisation are lacking， and therefore I would only recommend this book to avid Terry Pratchett fans。 If you want to read this book， then I am recommending the audiobook by David Tennant。The Carpet People 2/5The audiobook performance 5/5Overall rating 3 / 5Thanks to Penguin Random House and NetGalley for providing me with the audiobook in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

This is a fun， quirky fantasy novel starring entire kingdoms of creatures who live in the carpet right under our feet。 The human condition and the clashes of nations are parodied as The Carpet People squabble and join together， wage war and forge alliances。 It is a bit overly long for what it is and drags at times， but some of the witty banter and humor style reminded me of Monty Python。
