5.0�toiles sur 5 Only if you already know the series, Ao� 13 2002

Par	guy richardson (Reno, NV USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires

Terry Pratchett is, oh, 500 books deep into the Discworld series, or at least so it seems. The number is actually around 25. This book is an encyclopedia of Discworld chracters (Death, Cohen the Barbarian and so forth), plus Discworld places and concepts. It's a funny book, but you won't get much out of it if you aren't into the series. If you have read several of the series, it's a great resource -- and, like everything by Pratchett, immensely witty.

I Checked the product details to see if the recommendation regarding
an updated discworld companion reffered to the one I have, it does,
That's the 1997 (C.E.) edition folks, it precedes
Jingo; The Last Continent; Carpe Jugulum; The Fifth Elephant; The Truth; The Thief of Time; The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents; and The Last Hero. If You have all of the Discworld books and have Strata, The Carpet People, and The Dark Side of the Sun and
Are in possession of every other book or CD etc. that you currently want to own, and have a burning desire to own this book, i'd still recommend that you wait awhile for an update, or save the money or donate it to charity or put it towards alcohol tobacco or whatever else happens to be your poison, if in two years or so you sill want this edition because there hasn't been an update and you don't mind how out of date it isthen buy it in the meantime waiting would be a good idea, that said both this book and its 1994 predecessor have been very entertaining.

4.0�toiles sur 5 A welcome companion to a complicated world..., Avril 27 2002

Par	Kathleen L. Barron "smrtrnu" (Los Angeles, CA USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

The only thing lacking from this survey of Discworldness is the ability to expand through time, and, some might argue, some slightly inadequate entries. Aside from that, use it well to keep the characters straight in your head through the time-warp that is Discworld novels!
