Apunta't a LibraryThing per saber si aquest llibre et pot agradar. No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. The fact that I gave this only 3 stars might be misleading. It is just that Pratchett sets the bar so high for himself that this thoroughly enjoyable book isn't quite as enjoyable as some of his others. ( ) I'm finally enjoying the discworld as I knew I eventually would. And I grudgingly admit that the first 10 or so books, which I didn't like much, did contribute to this enjoyment. The fact that you already know a lot of the characters gives them some depth despite the length of the book. Another thing is that I started with the audio books of this series, which I can wholly recommend. Especially because Nigel Planer does all the accents of the characters, which is an entirely new experience.
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. PremisLlistes notables
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.
