Customer Reviews

Terry Pratchett is spelled with two 't' s

Anyone who has ended up here and is looking for more work by Terry Pratchett should do a search for the name spelled with two 't's. You'll find a lot more.

Wings

Wings is a wonderful, fanciful tale. It is also the third book in a series and is best read in order. Terry pratchet's work is always strong enough to stand alone, but I wouldn't want to miss a single book from any of his series.

Why only one Terry Prachet book?

If you have anything against a sense of humour - Don't read Terry Prachet. Everyone of my friends are as much in love with his work as I am. If you enjoyed Wings, try a Discworld book! There is none better than Terry Pratchet to help you escape reality for a short time (it's better than any drug!).

I like his work, especially the discworld stuff

Wings is a fabulous book, funny by itself, but even funier if read along with Truckers and Diggers books. It is a good children's book, and something my 11 year old brother enjoyed reading immensly. I'm not from the UK, but America, however I went to England this summer and was Prachetised by my friend Naomi, whose family we stayed with. I wish you had more of his work, since the only place I've seen it for sale was in Broxbourne.

Truckers, Diggers. Wings ends the Gnome trilogy.

After "Truckers" and "Wings" comes the final episoed of the Gnomes trilogy by Terry Pratchett "Wings" Maskerlin and the Gnomes journey to NASA, Florida, and they make a new home onbord a space shuttle called Concorde. But the shuttle has lifted off? but where?
