Least favourite Discworld book

[DaveC]

Monstrous Regiment has just been overtaken by Dark Side of the Sun. I thought the begining garbled and it only panned out once something concrete started to happen.

Am well impressed with Strata though.

I think it will be a long while before I want to read Dark Side of the Sun again, it wasn't terrible, just meandering. I finished it 2 weeks ago. I'm just over halfway through Strata at the moment, it's really good. (first and only F word in a Pratchett book?)

I don't remember reading an F word in any of the others.

edited: cos I made a hash of it!

I wasn't too fussed on moving pictures but I haven't read them all yet.

Greetings, all. I'm new to Discworld and have read only a handful, but I just had to say:

Pyramids. Oh, Pyramids. The charm left it, for me, once the action moved to Djelibeibi (sp?). I just didn't find it engaging on either a humourous or a dramatic level.

...But I thought Night Watch was hysterical (if quite intense, which I loved) and I'm itching for the next Moist story (MM was my first ever Discworld story) so there we go.

Welcome to the site, Archaeologist!

The board is being a bit temperamental today, which is probably why it's saying that you haven't made any posts when you clearly have.

I have to say that I was always disappointed when Pyramids moved from A-M to Djelibeybi as well.

Yeah.... summed up Pyramids pretty well. SOme love it, some don't.

BLASPHEMY!

 

[DaveC]

Welcome, Architect.

WELCOME Archaeologist.

Having undergone rigourous coverage in my 'O' level Archaeology exam, I stuck with Pyramids, not one of my favs, just don't let Pooh hear me say that!

Welcome to the Forum, Archaeologist!

 

[Penfold]

Hellooo and welcome from me to Archaeologist! I actually enjoyed Pyramids, but I enjoy winding Pooh up even more.

 

[Archaeologist]

Thanks everyone!

Sorry, Teppic. I suspect you rather like Pyramids.

Thanks everyone!

Sorry, Teppic. I suspect you rather like Pyramids.

Wonder what could have given you that idea

Hi Archaeologist!

You are quite clearly, completely and utterly raving bonkers!

So you'll probably fit in well here.

I know I said The Truth was my least favorite a few pages back
But after reading it again I enjoyed it a lot more
At the moment my least favorite is probably Night Watch
It's a brilliant book but just not as good as the others

Splutters into tea mug. Worst? It's up in my top five! Wonderful story, plot runs along nicely and you get to find out a lot more aboout the birth of the Guilds. Lu Tse is a brilliant character only surpased by Angua!

Yep, you're right, I like it!

 

[poohcarrot]

I wouldn't call it the worst, but it's not in my top ten.

I adore Night Watch. It blew me away. I liked how dramatic it got. I think the whole 'meeting his younger self' was handled a little strangely - I would be a little more in awe than Vimes was, but maybe that's just Vimes for you.
