3 stars

Udmærket historie, ekstremt veludbygget verden -- men forfatteren opnår ikke mere end tre stjerner fra mig fordi jeg har det forfærdeligt svært når 'vis, i stedet for at forklare' princippet ikke bliver overholdt. Udmærket historie, jeg vil også gerne læse de efterfølgende bind -- men ikke mere end en gang.

Terry Pratchett: A Slip of the Keyboard: Collected Non-fiction (2015) 4 stars

A Slip of the Keyboard

4 stars

Speeches, letters, essays and anecdotes of Terry Pratchett, brimming with the wit and insight that made Pterry one of the greatest writers of his time. An analysis of gender roles re: wizards and witches stands out in particular as both true and hilarious.

I give the collection four stars because it's not really all that accessible to anyone who is not very familiar with Pratchett's heaping pile of work. There is a lot of information to take in and the occasional helpful footnote from the editor would have been very useful.

And damnit, I miss reading new Discworld novels. GNU, Terry Pratchett.
