About this listen

 " All these books and stuff, that isn't what it should all be about. What we need is real wizardry."

All is not well within the Unseen University. The endemic politics of the place have ensured that it has finally got what it wished for: the most powerful wizard on the disc - which could mean that the death of all wizardry is at hand. And that the world is going to end, depending on whom you listen to. Unless, of course, one inept wizard can take the University's most precious artefact, the very embodiment of magic itself, and deliver it halfway across the disc to safety.

This is a lovely Pratchett book. As an early book he hasn't quite got into his stride as the later books but it is still hilarious. Tony Robinson makes it as the narrator. A must for anyone who is a fan of the author, narrator or even games! If you are starting on Pratchett I wouldn't recommend this as your starting one, maybe go for Mort or Interesting Times; which are easier to get going with.

Classic Pratchett

My favourite Discworld novel. Very much enjoyed this one. A 10-year-old boy becomes the most powerful magic user on the Discworld; even more powerful than the gods.

Of course, it also has Rincewind and the Luggage.

My Favourite Discworld novel.

I love the disc world. though I haven't read even half of the books in the series, the world he creates is excellent. Tony Robinson does an excellent job of glimpsing the listener into that world. I look forward to more of his readings.

Biased review, because it's one of my favourites.

loved the book and the audiobook by Tony Robinson was even better.

seeing the huge world unfold in sections when you read each book makes it an amazing series to read, every child should read these growing up as they are so good and so memorable.
