Product Description
There are mighty battles, revolution, death and war. The oldest and most inscrutable empire on the Discworld is in turmoil, brought about by the revolutionary treatise. Workers are uniting, with nothing to lose but their water buffaloes. Warlords are struggling for power. And all that stands in the way of terrible doom for everyone is: Rincewind.
Amazon.co.uk Review
Marvellous Discworld, which revolves on the backs of four great elephants and a big turtle, spins into Interesting Times, the 17th outing in Terry Pratchett's rollicking fantasy series. The gods are playing games again, and this time the mysterious Lady opposes Fate in a match of "Destinies of Nations Hanging by a Thread". --Blaise Selby

 Rincewind narrowly avoids death - AGAIN!, 2009-02-01
Have been reading the Rincewind books in order and this one is a particular favourite. Nice to see Twoflower and Cohen the Barbarian back. Pratchett at his amusing best. Love the not quite Chinese civilisation references.
I'm collecting the 25th Anniversary black covers and they are really nice. Although they maybe aren't as interesting as the Josh Kirby covers, there is something aesthetically pleasing about having a whole shelf of them!
A real gem, 2009-03-04
This is one of Terry Pratchett's funniest books.The parody of ancient Chinese civilisation is spot-on and every page contains a hilariously witty gem.Highly recommended.
Fantastic piece of fantasy, 2009-02-08
This book is one of the best from the series of discworld - most interesting and verry funny.
Interesting Times, 2009-12-31
Bought this just to fill in time while sitting in my car waiting (often do) but found it much more than that. Some wonderful one liners and puns and Tony Robinson does a very nice job of bringing it to life. The story is fast paced and I love the way Terry Pratchett takes elements of 'our' world adds magic, twists and the darn right strange to form a whole new world of wonder.
Definitely one of his better books, 2009-12-01
Mr. Pratchetts more recent books are a far cry from the original formula: wild and crazy adventure stories with a lot of situation comedy, dialogue and writers' notes that made you laugh out loud. This one still adheres (and very succesfully at that) to the original formula: in this case, a totally hilarious spoof on Ghengiz Khan's conquering of China. It is - even among Terry Pratchetts books - one of those rare books that can be re-read once a year and still be very funny and a joy to read. Highly recommended!
