I am a member of my school's book club, and not long ago they gave us a book called "The wee free men & a hat full of sky" by Mr. Pratchett. I was like nooo not another book! But when I started reading it, I really liked it. I didn't felt like they were forcing me to read it because I got into it. A really good book!

I don't know whether Terry Pratchett's will read my comment, but I'll use the opportinuty to thank him for his great works! He actually saved my life ;)... The humour, wisdom, great writing skills of his books really helped me realize how anyone should think about life, all the misadventures one could come across and what our attitude about the bad moments should be if we want to live a better life, full of good emotions and humour! His help was really welcome for some of my books too, so i have to thank him that some of them saw the light of day because of his works. Best wishes, Mr Pratchett! Keep the good work going! Let the wonderful noise of the sea always sounds in your ears! (a greeting of my water dragons' hunters - my 1st Tale Of The Rock Pieces).

Terry Pratchett's work is witty and well-phrased. He has the ability to use words in such a way that they convey two meanings. If you understand his tongue-in-cheek word witticism, then you can see the humour in it. Always enjoy reading his works.
