5.0 out of 5 stars Great, Oct 22 2008
This book is very fun to play from, and all the songs are hard enough to be challenging but easy enough to be approachable. I wish that some parts of the soundtrack--the wedding, and the beautiful expression of the love theme in At Wit's End, for example--had been included, but I suppose that unless I was a concert pianist I wouldn't be able to play them if they had been, so perhaps it's my gain in the end.
The book arrived promptly, and in perfect condition.
My favourite track is Up is Down...I would say that this book is the best piano book of the three movies (I have all three), but then that would be biased because it's my favourite soundtrack to begin with. However, the… Read more
Peter and the Secret of Rundoon by Ridley Pearson
This book was quite decent, but it does not seem to be the same series that it started as. This happens quite frequently in trilogies where originally only one book or film was planned, and then later it was decided to turn it into a trilogy.

2.0 out of 5 stars Errr..., Oct 22 2008
I wanted to like this one. I really did. I adore the adult titles in the series, and the Nac Mac Feegles are hilarious, I wish they would appear in other books. But...I couldn't even finish A Hat Full of Sky. I completely lost interest around 2/3 of the way through, and I would have to say that the main problem is Tiffany herself. She annoyed me. She didn't interest me very much. And she was even more frustrating than in the first book, the Wee Free Men, which was previously my least favourite Discworld book.
That's not to say that the rest of the series isn't good, or even that Pratchett can't write for children. His other YA title, The Amazing Maurice and His Educated rodents, was… Read more
