The Bromeliad Trilogy: The Collection

The book came dirty (pages smeared black). The book spine and cover are creased.

I'm too old to read this stuff, really, but Amazon don't know that, so I am in the clear.. Terry Pratchet at his best, here. And it seriously can be read by anyone from 9 up, with an interest in a bit of fantasy, but really linked into our real world, too.He was so good at this stuff, bridging the gap between kids and adults. I am missing the old feller already, bless him.Read them in order.

I love the Terry Pratchett books and have had most of then (still do have most of them!) over my lifetime. However, this was one set of books I'd not kept so I invested these to read to my son as he is now enjoying the joys of TP as well. However, when this arrived, I was a little disappointed in the quality of the paper - it is very thin, and though I've not actually started reading this year (saving for holiday), I'm concerned that it will tear easily.

I have read this trilogy many times and each time I love it a even more. I have liked a handful of his Disc World and short stories but I LOVE the Bromleliad and hope to read it with my children next. It works on so many levels so beautifully. The big themes (religion, faith, equality, evolution, too many to list) are there to be explored or just the adventure of Nomes surviving. The dialogue and quirky Britishness is perfection. If in doubt read a free kindle sample. Reviewing this is so hard as I don't want to spoil it for you! Good for children and adults alike. Just brilliant!

My cousin is a massive Terry Pratchett fan and has pretty much all of the books he has written including the recent ones with Stephen Baxendale but for some reason he hadn't got this set and so I bought it for him for his Birthday recently and once again another brilliant book by Terry Pratchett. My cousin may be slightly biased of course with him having read and owning most of Terry's books but considering the mans genius (Terry) I don't think that's the case. Very good book and a bonus that it is three books in one and my cousin has advised that this is one of the better series of Terry's that he has read so a definite thumbs up.

Havent read it all yet. While entertaining enough this pales into insignificance next to the Discworld.
