The Color Of Magic (Discworld, Book 1) The Color Of Magic by Terry Pratchett


My review


rating: 3 of 5 stars
Ah, so whoever it was that advised me to start with the Watch books, instead of going by publication chronology, was completely right. Probably the most entertaining thing about these books is watching Pratchett working really hard to tune his funny. And there are flickers of that perfect pitch he has later, but mostly it's just sort of random-incidents-strung-together, and there's only occasional bits of there there.
