Discworld, Book 8

De: Terry Pratchett

Narrado por: Tony Robinson

Brought to you by Penguin.

'The people next door oppress me all night long. I tell them, I work all day, a man's got to have some time to learn to play the tuba. That's oppression, that is. If I'm not under the heel of the oppressor I don't know who is.'

An aura of mean-minded resentfulness is thick in the streets of Ankh-Morpork. Insurrection is in the air. The Haves and Have-Nots are about to fall out all over again. The Have-Nots ant some of their own magic. But magic in the hands of amateurs is a dangerous thing.

The City Watch is the last line of defence against such unnatural goings-on. But when even the Watch have trouble telling Right from Wrong, you know that Law and Order ain't what it used to be. But that's all about to change...

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Pratchett has a masterful ear for dialogue, a keen eye for the ridiculous, and a real feel for language." (Time Out)

so many quotes worth tattooing

Loved it. Complete with dragons and loveable characters. An entertaining and humorous ride. The significant owl hoots in the night.

Lines from book left out

I have read this book many times and it us missing lines from the book

pure entertainment

Terry Pratchett was a genius. Couple that with the excellence of the audio book production and the reading, and you have an amazing result. I loved it!

Great book, AWFUL narrator

He would be a fantastic narrator for sleep aides but he never speaks louder than a whisper and he makes you believe every character is constantly half asleep.

There's no indication this is an abridged version!

How do you remove 2/3 of a book and not indicate it in the title! Terry would be furious!

no indication in the title its abridged

narrator sounds like he does asmr lol. like a dad reading a bedtime story, and thats not a good thing

MASSIVELY ABRIDGED

Why doesn’t this say it’s massively abridged? The description in the Audible app doesn’t mention. It’s so chopped that it often hardly make any sense, all the Pratchett language is missing so what is the point? Such a pity because Tony Robinson is the perfect narrator.

Abridged

Abridged to the point of being nonsensical. False advertising to boot. I'd rate it lower if I could.

ABRIDGED

Simply LIVID I spent an entire credit on a TINY PORTION of the book! This is one of my favorite discworld books, and it’s not even half the story. WHY?!

ABRIGED

I did not realize until after I had finished reading this that it was the abridged version! Audible needs to put it in the title and make it more clear!!!!
