Pyramids

I did say that the next post would be Pratchett,

I have been reading this book for several months. I guess you're wondering why it has taken me so long and the answer is because i left it in one of my houses and only read it when i was in that house and i spent half my week in a different house so therefore i could only read it for a few nights at best.

For years the talk around the dinner table in my house has been about Pratchett, quoting and discussing various plots and the board games. So for ages the talk was about this name that Pratchett had given a place and this name took my sister ages to work out that it was Jelly Baby spelt Djellibabe (or something to that effect). Anyway, I had not made the connection until i read this book and I have to say that i had no trouble reading it for what it was so i don't know what my sister was going on about but anyway.
Like all early Pratchett books, this is a comical and very entertaining book. I struggle a lot with Pratchett because there is a lot of writing, no pictures and a small font. Occasionally I get so confused with what is going on that I just give up and move on to the next in the series but not with this one. I loved this one from start to finish and hope that the next one which is guards guards will be just as entertaining.
I read guards guards ten years ago and can't remember anything about it so it should be fun!
The only book that I have read which hasn't been on a level with the Death novels is the first one: The colour of Magic. I found it difficult to get my head around but from then onwards I have really enjoyed his novels. What I have enjoyed most is that you can read them in any order because some novels are character related and others aren't particularly so you can just pick a book and start with it and work your way around in any order.
I know that he had a new book out last year or the year before and I heard that it wasn't that good but come on, he's written like thirty of these books so he's probably reaching his limit in terms of character development and decent story line.
Anyway- greatly looking forward to the next book in the Pratchett series.
Next post will be on Bryan Lee O'Malley's latest book Seconds.
