Book Review - The Colour of Magic
The incompetent wizard Rincewind, directed the Unseen University, is an arrant coward. And yet it is Rincewind, the condemned is Zweiblum to accompany the first tourists to the Discworld, as a tour guide and protect. The two unlikely companions on a dangerous slide into the next and appear only with more luck than skill to get back out alive.
"The Colour of Magic" is a strange book, as this whole fantasy universe, the Discworld is completely slanted. Imagine only: the world is flat, resting on the backs of four elephants which in turn attached to the shell of the turtle are case-A'Tuin, which swims slowly through the interstellar ocean.
Someone once told me: either you love the Discworld books, or you can they can not stand. Well, my absolute favorite book is 'The Colour of Magic' certainly not, but it is definitely in the ranks of the books that I like very much.
alone completely off the details with which Terry Pratchett describes his world, and the absolutely weird humor, which often gave me loud fits of laughter while reading this book make it a very special one. So what was yet to come.
is registered by me at BookCrossing, if anyone is interested: Terry Pratchett - The Colour of Magic
