Not my absolute favourite. I love the witches, but I didn't find the plot itself very compelling. I never quite understood the mirrors thing, or really the stories thing and I didn't much care. ( ![]() Very very funny so maybe I should give it 4.5 stars Witches Abroad - Pratchett Audio performance by Indira Varma and additional cast 4 stars The book is definitely improved by this audio production. Indira Varma captured the personalities of all three witches. She made the most of Pratchett’s word play and slapstick humor. The silly story bogs down in too many details, but I enjoyed it more this time. To follow 268
Perhaps because the novel's picaresque structure seems commodious rather than contrived, one reads with less of an obtrusive sense of stage machinery being wheeled into place. Still, Pratchett's taste for complicated climactic scenes remains, so that his novels, rather than coming to a point as much comedy does, tend to blow apart like a firecracker. PremisNotable Lists
Be careful what you wish for... Once upon a time there was a fairy godmother named Desiderata who had a good heart, a wise head, and poor planning skills-which unforunately left the Princess Emberella in the care of her other (not quite so good and wise) godmother when DEATH came for Desiderata. So now it's up to Magrat Garlick, Granny Weatherwax, and Nanny Ogg to hop on broomsticks and make for far-distant Genua to ensure the servant girl doesn't marry the Prince. But the road to Genua is bumpy, and along the way the trio of witches encounters the occasional vampire, werewolf, and falling house (well this is a fairy tale, after all). The trouble really begins once these reluctant foster-godmothers arrive in Genua and must outwit their power-hungry counterpart who'll stop at nothing to achieve a proper "happy ending"-even if it means destroying a kingdom.
