review 1: This is a much better entry in The Long Earth series than its predecessor, as here the characters feel slightly less mechanical, and more self-motivated. There are still areas where the plot feels a bit forced, but the world feels much more lived-in, and there are some fun new ch...

review 1: I really enjoyed the new world(s) and theme that Baxter and Pratchett introduced in this book and I also liked the narrative style that kept jumping away/back to little side stories explaining what happened. However the big reveal was a huge let down. It could have ended a tiny b...

review 1: I would honestly only give this 2.5 stars because it is pretty boring and just a redo of the first book (with Mars added in) :/ What was an interesting idea, just gets boring after awhile when you don't do much with it but jump around different places. If the characters were a li...

review 1: First of all - I'm a huge Pratchett's fan! That said, I love that graphic novel. I know lots of people think that the the action is kind of random and skips a lot from one scene to a complete different one, and there were some comments about the art... But as far as I'm concerned...

review 1: Well, ok, I have not actually read this book from cover to cover, because it is not that kind of book. This is a book for disc world lovers to dip into and savour. Dipping into the city guide enables the reader to become an armchair traveller to Ankh-Morpork where you can wander...

review 1: The book is split into three sections and halfway section two, I thought "This is really good and I understand exactly how he feels". By the time I got to the end, I had lost interest. Yes, I get why he rants against Alzheimer's. I've felt the same. I also understand why he fe...

review 1: I really hoped to like this book more. I found it a bit overworked while simultaneously not being fully realized, which sounds odd but that's what I felt as I was reading it. There were so many things going on, too many pieces to the puzzle, and not enough of them came together a...

review 1: I am a great discworld fan, but have not read much of Pratchett's other work (yet). So this collection of short stories was an ideal introduction. As with most short story collections, it was a bit hit and miss, and I felt it definitely picked up the pace once we were safely back...

review 1: Unlike the first three Science of Discworld books, this seems to have more to say about what science is, rather than giving examples of scientific observations, theories, refutations and current laws. Thus it's more the Philosophy of Science of Discworld, which does not lessen th...

review 1: Cała Nauka świata Dysku jest w mojej opinii jedną z najlepszych serii książek o charakterze popularnonaukowym. Jest to naprawdę dobry opis współczesnego stanu naszej wiedzy w najogólniejszym i mocno uproszczonym zarysie. Został tutaj także zachowany złoty środek pomiędzy zbyt duż...

review 1: I will preface this by saying that I am a massive, massive Terry Pratchett fan - to the extent of dressing up in Discworld outfits, going to cons and even owning some of his books in German, which I don't speak a word of. This one, unfortunately, was not for me. After just finish...
