5.0 out of 5 stars Laugh... I nearly fell off my chair!, 14 Aug 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: The Bromeliad Trilogy: Truckers - Diggers - Wings (Hardcover)
Which, of course, resulted in me getting strange looks from other members of my class (except, of course, those who had already read the books). Truckers, the first book, is very much Pratchett's interpretation of the world; and it's hysterical. I sincerely reccommend this book to people of very all ages.

4.0 out of 5 stars Certainly not those little fairies who mend your shoes!, 28 Mar 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: The Bromeliad Trilogy: Truckers - Diggers - Wings (Hardcover)
Say the word gnomes and most people will think of those rather horrid little figurines that some people in suburbia will insist on littering lawns and gardens with. You know the ones - they have fishing rods, red hats and rosy cheeks.

Well, not these. These are Nomes, thank you very much, and as you will discover they certainly don't have fishing rods. Well...maybe they do if you think of bins as a metaphorical fish pond and a rat as a real treat of a meal.

The story basically follows Masklin and his band of 'outside' nomes who travel indoors (although the Store nomes don't believe in outside so they reckon Masklin is mad). The book follows the trials of this little band of ten inch folk until their eventual adventure. To say more would spoil the story but it is well worth a read. Children will love it and adults will find an excuse ("I was going to read it to my kids, honest!).

Buy it, read it and wonder whether those small blurs really were mice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Little people get into big trouble, and out again, 23 April 2003
By Kurt A. Johnson (Marseilles, IL USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: The Bromeliad Trilogy: Truckers - Diggers - Wings (Hardcover)
Unknown to the humans, they share the Earth with another intelligent race, the nomes. The reason they don't know about the nomes is that they are four inches tall, and live at a pace ten times that of humans. This is the story of Masklin, and other heroic nomes who lead their people out of the dangerous world of humans, in search of their home. In the course of this story the overcome great obstacles, all with wit and humor.

This book is actually a collection of three book: Truckers, Diggers and Wings. The stories showcase Terry Pratchett's wit and humor, his ability to examine the human experience from a very different viewpoint. The action is gripping, and the humor outrageous. I highly recommend this book.
