Terry Pratchett's profoundly irreverent novels are consistent number one bestsellers in England, where they have garnered him a revered position in the halls of parody next to Mark Twain, Kurt Vonnegut, Douglas Adams, and Carl Hiaasen.The Color of Magic is Terry Pratchett's maiden voyage through the now-legendary land of Discworld. This is where it all begins--with the tourist Twoflower and his wizard guide, Rincewind.

Bonitos recuerdos y bonitos olvidos desde aquella primera lectura. Muchos consideran que no es lo mejor para empezar el Mundodisco, pero no me parece tan mal si tienes curiosidad. Cierto es que el libro va cogiendo ritmo, y cierto es también que es el primer Pratchett, pero me ha hecho sonreír como la primera vez.

Whimsical introduction to Discworld

4 stars

I love Ricewind story and I loved plentiful allusions to nerd culture of the 80s, but it almost reads like a really good Discworld fanfic than a Discworld book.

The storyline was scattered and it felt like three or four short-stories stitched together (by a genius).

I loved re-reading it, but it truly shows how amazing other works of Pratchett are.

Imagine dragons!
