Universally beloved as it may be, the Discworld series is notoriously uneven. Those books of his I’ve read, I’ve re-read again and again, taking the time to savour the deliciousness of the prose, the wryness of tone, the trademark humour that is at once delightful and poignant. This should tell you much about the quality of the book itself, for rare indeed is an original story ‘adapted’ for the screen with so few alterations.įor me, reading Terry Pratchett’s work is not only a joy but an indulgence, too.
