dariazeoli I‘m about halfway through the book so far, which is ok because the next book isn‘t available on Libby 🙁 This one started off slow for me, but it seems to be rounding a corner. I‘m enjoying the references to movies 5y

TheSpineView Gaspode was my favorite character. Leave it to Pratchett to poke fun at such an institution as Hollywood. I thought Pratchett was very clever in having the statue defeat the creatures from the Dungeon Dimensions. What do you think he was trying to say by doing that? 5y
gossamerchild I'm still working my way through this one, too. I've read it before, but it's been long enough that I don't remember much. Gaspode is the best! I'm also amusing myself by trying to guess the “real life“ references in the Holy Wood (spellcheck wants me to change that to Hollywood) universe. “Blown Away“ about killed me...too funny 😆 5y
TheSpineView @gossamerchild I know I chuckled my way through this one.🤣 5y
Laura317 I finished it awhile back. It wasn‘t my favorite, but I did like the talking dog. 5y
julesG @dariazeoli I haven't finished either. Other books called for my attention. I like it, but I'm definitely looking forward to June and Reaper Man. 😉 5y
Gezemice I have read this a while ago. This one is more fun for its little quotes and digs at Hollywood (frankly, I don‘t give a damn 😂). The story was rather shaky, but I also enjoyed Gaspode. 5y
khooliha @TheSpineView I was thinking about the purpose of the Oscar defeating the Dungeon Dimension beasts as well. It's not as if the Academy Awards reign in excess or the "unreality" (or heightened reality, I guess) of movies. I mean, it's probably just for the image, but I think it's interesting. 5y
khooliha I must have said this 3 or 4 times before, but this feels like the series really finding its groove. The antagonist/threat feels very classic Discworld, and I like using the Dungeon Dimension slightly differently than the past. Speaking of the DD, I feel like Pratchett took some pains early on to differentiate Victor from Rincewind, specifically in never running away because it takes too much energy. 5y
khooliha The wizard portion of the book felt a little weird, cause it never mattered that much that Victor used to be a wizard, but I was happy to see Ridcully and Ponder. Ridcully just needs to chill a bit and Ponder needs to step up his game. 5y
khooliha Also, a silly question: did Gaspode have 4 legs the whole book? Cause my brain squarely has him as a 3 legged dog and now I am not sure why. 5y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa Finally finished this one too! I agree, it started off really slow for me, a bit disjointed between the wizards, Victor, the new senior wizard, etc....but as usual it coalesced as it went along and I loved the last 1/3 of the story. Gaspode was my favorite... I was wishing for a fluke that he could keep his speech and we‘d see him in other books, I enjoyed his character and perspectives. 5y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @TheSpineView I‘m guessing we are all relying on Uncle Oscar to protect us from film demons.🤷‍♀️ 5y
