Pratchett is such a clever and witty author; I want to love him more than I do. I recently tried my first Disc World series (Book 1) and couldn't last. Not sure why, everything should have ticked my boxes, but turns out I'm not getting on board with a flying turtle ;)

I'm not going to try and not sound like a fan girl here because I am. You know what, the first time I got handed one of these novels, I had the same reaction. I was told I would love it, and I was like meh when I started. Book gathered dust on my bookshelf for years. The second time another friend did the same thing, I was unemployed and had nothing better to do. So I went for it! Best decision ever. With his older books, he spends a good few chapters setting tone, and it's a whole new world, so lots to set. Push past the first three chapters, and I promise you to get better; when the stories tie into each other, and the pot goes mental, you will struggle to put it down. The colour of magic is also a two-part book, and Rincewind is a good character but not the best. I suggest starting with Guards! Guards! Guards! But give the whole book a chance, so you can like it as much as you should!
