Terry Pratchett

Have not been feeling like blogging these few days. Im not even that enthusiastic about surfing the net anymore!!!!! How crazy is that!!!!! I guess my Internet detox plan is working. Hehe....

Anyways, I`ve been reading the new Terry Pratchett book I recently bought. Muahahaha.... I Love Terry Pratchett`s books. So much so that im collecting them. Last count 10 books. Not bad since it`s 1/3 of the Discworld series but, i want more more...kekeke.They are just so nice and different from the other books. I cannot even describe how I feel about it but, this came close ( found it in d book)

`Discworld is more complicated and satisfactory than Oz....It has the energy of The Hitchhiker`s Guide to the Galaxy and the inventiveness of Alice in Wonderland.It also has an intelligent wit and a truly original grim and comic grasp of the nature of things.`

Neways. the book i bought? The title is Maskerade.

This is the new cover- the book i bought is this type :(

(The old cover - me thinks it`s MUCH nicer then the new one but, harder to find edi.
But u know what the Kinokuniya in KLCC is stocked with this man.
Abutthen, cheaper to buy online here. :(
The agony of buying cheaper stuff. )

So far its not bad. It`s based loosely on The Phantom of the Opera and has his signature witches inside. They are the main characters in Wyrd Sisters and are unlike how witches are normally painted.Instead of the usual white witch or black witch with their spells, curses and stuff. Terry Pratchett`s witches are old grandmother like crones with bad attitude and they happen to practice reverse psychology on stupid or just plain ignorant patients instead of spells and enchantments .Story`s bout some deaths and accidents in the Opera House and the witches get caught up in the mist of things as they venture out from Lancre ( where they live) to Ankh-Morpork (the city) in search for a another member to add to their coven. They chanced on a girl with this great voice from Lancre but, she has greater ambitions for herself and got into the Opera. The storyline goes hoo hum most of the time then there will be this interesting or wise snippet or the sudden appearance of DEATH that makes it all worth while.

This guy`s books happen to not follow a set time line and tends to jump a lot. So i guess they aren`t fit for everyone`s palette. However, it will surely be one interesting ride if you dare to follow through.
