Format:Hardcover
An excellent adaptation of the original book even if it does miss out a lot of the hilariously dreadful puns. The artwork is perfect and with a little surprise for those with sharp eyes. I had always thought it was one of those modern myths that illustrators attempt to slip an anatomically correct female drawing passed the editors. One blink and you could miss it. Its on page.... no that would be too easy. Consider it like an adult version of where's Wally?

I bought this item after watching the BBC 2 programme that showed a year in the life of Terry Pratchett after he was diagnosed with Alzheimers. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and have since purchased the next 5 in the series and am eager for more. If you enjoy stories of wizards, witches and monsters told in a lighthearted way then this is the book for you. Fairy tales for adults! Rincewind the failed wizard is one of my favourite characters - the definitive antihero.

Format:Hardcover
Incredibly disappointing edition of the very nice stories. I have purchased this version of the books after reading the most amazingly created The Illustrated Wee Free Men, which was one of the finest reading experiences of my life. This one unfortunately turned out to be incredibly dull and boring, even for a person who read the stories in proper books first to be able to keep track of the pictures in this one.
Boring, uninspiring, unimaginative imagery, dull layout and garbled story - all in all a very disappointing purchase. It looks very much like a fanmade tribute by an amateur artist, not much as a professional work.
Three stars for the story as the representation is to be rated approximately at -7 stars, but please buy the proper books to read instead.

Graphic Discworld
I found it to be a good book, containing a fast version of the two novels, and in general the graphics were fine, similar to other graphic novels I have already seen. Read more

Pales in comparison with the original books.
I was disappointed by this book. I'm a fan of Terry Pratchett and his Discworld series, and "The Color of Magic" is one of my favourites, so I guess I approached this book with... Read more

The plot of this book is impossible to follow,the dialogue is misspelled,and the characters do not look at all like I imagined.I will never buy another graphic novel!

I'm not particularly used to any Discworld illustration that isn't...
And anyway, it's very lightly adapted- not adapted enough to make it enjoyable or dramatic, but some of the artwork is amazing. Read more
