1.0 out of 5 stars Embarrasing Failure, Mar 23 2003
By "amishrobots" (loveland , OH) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Eric Mm (Paperback)
Terry Pratchett has, in his other work, produced some of the finest fiction ever written, period. Therefore i have higher expectations of his work and judge accordingly. This little book, by Pratchett standards is an embarrasment to the entire series. Apparently the author felt it necessary to reclaim his inept 'wizzard' from the depths of the dungeon dimensions, possibly to appease his fans, so he whipped out this little fart of a story and then moved on. Poor Rincewind deserves better than this, and anyone planning to read their first discworld tale should avoid this trash like the plague. If you really <i> must </i> find out how Rincewind got away from the Dungeon Dimensions, this book is worth about [$$$] or less; personally, i think he'd have done better to wait and write the wizzard's revival into the beginning of 'Interesting Times' I'm sure the wizards of Unseen University could have summoned him themselves for the purpose of that story. I hear that this was originally to be a graphic novel with lots of fine pictures, but i don't really see how any amount of artwork could do much to help this pathetic work; it's missing the character developement, plot work, and the general magic that makes Terry Pratchett what he is, I've read other Pratchett books which I didnt feel were his best, but this is the only book by this author that i would ever call his worst.

4.0 out of 5 stars Any chance of the old edition?, Feb 15 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Eric Mm (Paperback)
The trouble with the novel Eric, is that it was originally printed as a graphic novel, with paragraphs accompanied with large illustrations by Josh Kirby, and as such made much more sense (and had a much lighter tone than a normal Discworld book did). Unfortunately, that edition isn't printed, and so quite a few people seem to be disapointed by the lightweightness of Eric. Bear in mind that it isn't as it was intended, and that it's a light tale (about Rincewind...always less than serious) and it should prove quite enjoyable

3.0 out of 5 stars Short and not very good, Jan 27 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Eric Mm (Paperback)
Mr. Pratchett is one of the funniest authors alive. This book, however, number nine in his laugh-out-loud discworld series, is a dissapointment. It's not the main character's fault (Rincewind the wizard is a very funny character in some of his other books). The plot, however, is kind of, well, [boring], and his writing is sub-par. My advice? Skip it, unless you want to read it just for completness

3.0 out of 5 stars What happened to my demon?
Eric is more of a Discworld novella than it is a novel. At 154 pages, it's not very substantive. Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean that it isn't a quality book. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars A Discworld anomaly
When last we left the inept wizard Rincewind (way back in Sourcery, the fifth Discworld novel) he was trapped in the Dungeon Dimensions. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Rincewind romps through History
The fake title (Faust) says it all. The inept "wizard" Eric tries to summon a demon and accidentally pulls Rincewind back from the Dungeon Dimesions. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Only fairly funny
Only fairly funny are rather damning words when applied to any work by Pratchett who is one of the most amusing writers alive. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars OK Book -- Brings Rincewind Back
This book is merely OK. It's a fun, short read. But, it's a very shallow, linear plot. I'd guess that its sole purpose is to be a vehicle for the return of Rincewind. Read more

First things first: "Eric" is the shortest Discworld novel to date. Even printed in a larger type face, it's slim on the bookshelf placed next to the rest of the... Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Don't worry-- the whole series isn't like this.
Let's be frank. <i>Eric</i> is easily the least of the Discworld novels, both in length and in quality. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars fantasy and comedy at its best
this was the first book I read by this author and I became addictive. I haven't miss a discworld-novel since.

3.0 out of 5 stars Ok discworld book
not as good as some of the others but it could be worse. Rincewind is the main charecter so it's pretty funny. Read more
