The Light Fantastic

(Discworld Novel 2)

By: Terry Pratchett

Narrated by: Tony Robinson

Brought to you by Penguin.

'What shall we do?' said Twoflower.
'Panic?' said Rincewind hopefully. He always held that panic was the best means of survival.

As it moves towards a seemingly inevitable collision with a malevolent red star, the Discworld could do with a hero. What it doesn’t need is a singularly inept and cowardly wizard, still recovering from the trauma of falling off the edge of the world, or a well-meaning tourist and his luggage which has a mind (and legs) of its own. Which is a shame because that's all there is...

Critic reviews

He is a satirist of enormous talent..Incredibly funny, compulsively readable

He would be amusing in any form and his spectacular inventiveness makes the Discworld series one of the perennial joys of modern fiction

Pure fantastic delight

Hijinks of the disk world kind

Rincewind saves disk-world and himself. And the question of which sex is a giant space turtle is solved. Also Anke-Moorpork suffers urban renewal.

Can't finish 😞

The volume and over acting of the narrator is difficult to hear. One minute he's yelling the characters voice, then another he's whispering the words are too hard to catch. I'm going to return this book and definitely not listen to this narrator again

Tarable!

Iidyemed to the original recording with either Steven Briggs or Nigal Planner narrating & it was a GREAT book but these NEW DRAMA books NOT GOOD AT ALL. PLEASE bring back the original recordings of these GREAT BOOKS!

Good book, bad narration

While not one of the best Discworld books, this is essential listening/reading for any fan. Unfortunately this new narration does not do the story justice. Try to find the original audio books if you can. They’re much better.

it was abridged.

I would recommend that any Diskworld fans who are considering this to please purchase the unabridged version.
