Best Satire (74) Books Read in 2020 (708) » 10 més No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. My least favorite Rincewind book so far... (  ) leslie.98 | Jun 27, 2023 |  Hard to rate and review. Didn't enjoy it too much while reading most of it, but coming to the end I suddenly saw what was happening. I like the overall idea a lot, but am not terribly fond of the wizards which detracted from the pleasure of reading this book. ( ) calenmarwen | May 29, 2023 | It takes the genius of Terry Pratchett to write a story about Australia, the evolution and time travel a way that the whole book immensely funny and entertaining.

 Dennoch hinterläßt "Heiße Hüpfer" ein etwas schales Gefühl. Dies liegt vor allem daran, daß man gegen Ende den Eindruck gewinnt, daß Pratchett die Geschichte aus den Fingern geschlüpft ist und er auf Biegen und Brechen versucht, die beiden Haupterzählstränge zu verbinden und ein Ende herbeizuführen. Daß er das bei weitem besser kann, hat Pratchett schon oft genug gezeigt. Angesichts der vielen köstlichen Szenen, Beschreibungen und Dialoge, die dem glücklicherweise vorangehen, kann man über den recht uninspirierten Schluß zwar hinwegsehen, aber etwas enttäuscht ist man schon. Wer Pratchett schon kennt und mag, der sollte sich dennoch nicht von den "Heißen Hüpfern" abhalten lassen. Wer aber noch nichts von ihm gelesen hat, der ist mit "Der Zauberhut", "Gevatter Tod" oder "Alles Sense" eindeutig besser beraten  Suffice it to say that while this may not be Pratchett's best Discworld novel, it's still an enjoyable one. What, one wonders, will he tackle next? Among other things, he's spoofed religion (Small Gods), feminism (Equal Rites), Hollywood (Moving Pictures), death (in an entire series of books), opera (Maskerade), racism (Jingo), Christmas (Hogfather), ancient Egypt (Pyramids), and most of the hoary, shop-worn devices of fantasy. Still, no worries; there are plenty of themes left. Abreujat aTé una guia d'estudi per a estudiants

HTML: Something is amiss at Unseen Unversity, Ankh-Morpork's most prestigious (i.e., only) institution of higher learning. A professor is missingâ??but a search party is on the way! A bevy of senior wizards will follow the trail wherever it leadsâ??even to the other side of Discworld, where the Last Continent, Fourecks, is under construction. Imagine a magical land where rain is but a myth and the ordinary is strange and the past and present run side by side. experience the terror as you encounter a Mad Dwarf, the Peach Butt, and the dreaded Meat Pie Floater. Feel the passion as the denizens of the Last Continent learn what happens when rain falls and the rivers fill with water (it spoils regattas, for one thing). Thrill to the promise of next year's regatta, in remote, rustic Didjabringabeeralong. It'll be asolutely gujeroo (no worries) No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
