It's much more involved than the original story.

Revisado: 02-08-25

I enjoyed it so much that I listened to it twice in a row. The characters are more deeply realized and questions left open in the original story are more satisfactorily answered.

Stephen Briggs' narration is better

Revisado: 10-08-24

I love all things Pratchett, and this book is no exception. It's a very funny and scathing satire of the British banking system at the time it was written.

Unfortunately, I am not as enthusiastic about this narrator's performance, which was merely adequate. The original version, read by Stephen Briggs, was, in my opinion, much better.

Funny, satirical, and scathing

Revisado: 10-06-24

Terry Pratchett did it again! His scathing satire of the British banking system hit all the marks.

Too many redundancies and mispronunciations!

Revisado: 08-25-22

If that man says "Ryva" one more time, I may just lose it! The author's intended pronunciation of the word is "Reeva".
I am also heartily sick of hearing bleak, vast, profound, quite and rather over and over and over again! Didn't he own a thesaurus?

the original recording is better

Revisado: 07-11-22

I have been looking forward to this new recording of Sir Pterry Pratchett's first Discworld book and, I'm sorry to say that I have been disappointed again!

I miss Terry Pratchett

Revisado: 06-22-22

I have loved nearly everything Sir Pterry ever wrote, even these last few, which came to be because of the considerable help given him by his assistant, Rob and his daughter Rhianna. 💔

the original recording was better

Revisado: 05-24-22

I was looking forward to this new stereo recording, but I was disappointed in it. It's not nearly as good as the original, even if the original was done in mono.

Great stories, inconsistent narrations

Revisado: 02-09-22

I only listened to about half of books because the quality of the narration on most of them was so lousy.

I really enjoyed this series, but had I known that about the author, I would never have bought it.

An interesting tale with many textual flaws

Revisado: 12-31-21

While I enjoyed the story itself, I didn't like the bizarre way way the narrator pronounced some words and place names. I wish that the author had owned a thesaurus; his overuse of such qualifiers as rather, quite, profound and and all permutations of the word bleak, severely grated on my nerves! This author rarely presented a thought, feeling or action without qualifying it in some way. After listening to the entire series back to back, these things became EXTREMELY ANNOYING! I blame the editor for not cleaning it up.
If one can get past these repeated failings, it's an exciting and interesting series. BTW: they get worse in the Mallorean.
