Terry Pratchett's Discworld (2) - Page 12

I can find it in my heart to forgive you for that, but Kirby's interpretations seemed to be far more literal.
Twoflower on the cover of either CoM or LF actually has four eyes rather than glasses.

And for being based on the work of a guy who describes the physical appearance of the characters in the vaguest of possible terms, Kidby seems to be able to capture the likeness amazingly well. Particularly trolls.

Looking like Clint is not a bad thing.

Yep, four eyes. At least he does on the UK paperback edition, which is what I have.

Waiting for my library copy, I've only flicked through the first few pages.

Yeah, that's pathetic.
Like it again.

Sure Discworld books are popular.
They're popular because they are good, not because of advertisements everywhere, or because the publisher has been touting this book as the greatest thing since Sir Pterry's last book, or because they have seventy million screaming fans. Discworld fans are more thoughtful, and tend to keep things like that to themselves and have the odd quiet chuckle.
The only adverts I have ever seen for Discworld books are the ones from WH Smiths when they're having a sale. No multi-page spreads in the newspapers, no ads on buses or trains, no hollywood movies directed by Ron Howard.

It is a good book, but lacks the flow of the middler books. Which is to say... not the early ones, but the ones where everything had pretty much settled down.

Richard Coyle? I loved him in coupling and he'll make a great Moist the conman.

I saw the first half of Going Postal and have yet to see the second half.
