Never judge a book........... - By: M. Marshall, 30 May 2008 
.........by its cover. Exceptin this case because not only is this book beautifully packaged but the contents are of the same high standard. It's been such a long time since I last read most of the Discworlds that most of these lovely snippets are unknown to me - & what a delight it is to read them again. I find that reading them isolated from their parent novels actually increases my awareness of their quality - & compels me to go back & read those novels again. Which is, I suppose, what is intended. Splendid.
something to dip in and out of - By: Susan Belcher, 17 Feb 2008 
... & that's what this book is meant to be - just something Pratchett be dippedin & out of. When you're looking for a bit of relief from the stresses of life but don't have the time to read a full Pratchett chapter then this is for you.
It's old look cover is a great disguise for a sneaky look at work. Even though most of my favourite lines aren'tin it this is still a book that is a lot of fun, & it's nice to see someone elses view of the best bits.
Simply Brilliant Mr Briggs! - By: Mr. Pv Tyler, 27 Dec 2007 
Leave this bookin the smallest room of the house for when you have a minute or two to contemplate the deeper thingsin life. There is one slight drawback, I lost a house guest for half an hour as they were busy reading & lost track of time!
Good; But... - By: Oliver Tormey, 28 Oct 2007 
All the jokes of discworldin a single book, must be funny right. Well, it might just be coz i'm extreamly familia with all the material anyway, but this book seams to lack the carm witch makes Pratchett halerious. Its a laugh a minute, but it is no way comparable the plesure i get from even rereading a regual novel for the third or forth time.
Worth the money - By: R. Gell, 25 Oct 2007 
This is what it says it is, a compilation of wit from the discworld books. I disagree with the comment that if you have the books that this is a waste of money. I have them all & regularly re-read them, but I still loved this book. It's not one to sit down with & read through, it's more for dipping into when you need a smile. In fact it may be better if you have read the books, as then you can remember the whole scenario of the quote. Buy the book, leave it nearby, & flick through when passing it, it can brighten any day.
