At nine, Tiffany Aching defeated the cruel Queen of Fairyland. At 11, she banished an ancient body-stealing evil. At 13, Tiffany faces a new challenge: a boy. And boys can be a bit of a problem when you're 13. But the Wintersmith isn't exactly a boy. He is winter itself.

What's with the annoying musical interludes?

The Pritchett/Briggs combo is perfect
Revisado: 04-14-22
Pratchett is funny, akin to Douglas Adams, in a genre in which the two stand alone, (or maybe together by themselves). While the Tiffany Aching books may not as funny as some of the other Discworld books, Wintersmith was certainly fun. Briggs is the perfect narrator for Pratchett. He gets all the nuances of the characters right. His majorly Scottish brogue for the Feagels (sp?; it was an audiobook after all) had me laughing often. Any of the books with this combo are highly recommended.

Historia4 out of 5 stars 155
January '42. L.A. reels behind the shock of Pearl Harbor. Local Japanese residents are rounded up and slammed behind bars. Massive thunderstorms hit the city. A body is unearthed in Griffith Park. The cops tag it a routine dead-man job. They're wrong. It's an early-warning signal of chaos. There's a murderous fire and a gold heist. There's Fifth Column treason on American soil. There are homegrown Nazis, Commies, and race racketeers. It's populism ascendant. There's two dead cops in a dive off the jazz-club strip. And three men and one woman have a hot date with history.

Great read
Revisado: 12-29-21
Ellroy is just pure fun. The plots are as thick as anything Raymond Chandler ever conceived. Anyone who has read him knows his unique, characteristic syntax. It is part of the joy one has when reading him. The narrator brings the subtleties of each character to life. Dudley Smith’s brogue is right on, and I have to say that he seems to be channeling a young Jack Nicholson when he voices Ed Satterly. The overly politically correct should be warned that almost all the characters are bigots One way or another. Their dialogue more than reflects this. Be prepared.
