Discworld discussion

The new Pratchett book Dodger is out 13th September. Not a Discworld book - are people looking forward to reading it?

Of course I'm looking forward to reading it. It's a Pratchett book!

I've read a publicity preview of the first chapter. Looks good, has Charles Dickens as a character. I felt it was like a cross between TP's style and the Sally Lockhart books by Philip Pullman. Therefore, excellent!

Waterstones have been giving out the first few pages as a taster. Rob, his Personal Assistant, then read some at the Discworld Convention. I can't wait to read the rest.

Yes, that's the one I read. Can't wait either!

I ordered the special edition... i sooooo look forward to read this! :-)

Dickensian Pratchett? Yes please!

can't wait! i will have my copy soon! :)

Absolutely loved it! A must read for fans :)

just started it and struggling with it as the voice is different to the discworld voice i am used to.

loved this book. still prachett-esk humor even with this dickins twist

Just finished it today, Much better than the recent "Long Earth", I loved the London surrounding (since I just moved to London myself), and I adored the way Dickens is depicted :-) I could feel the Pratchett humor in it and I was very happy since I missed him terribly in the Baxter duetto....! The character I mostly enjoyed was Salomon, but I found his descriptions of the "ladies" in the pub adorable :-) I think I will call my next cat "Ginny-Come-Lately"!

You are soooo lucky that you can read it alredy. I have to wait until it will be publish in Poland... Buying it now in english is a little too expesive...

This may not be a Discworld story but it is a good read and a clever mingling of Victorian characters

Not a Discworld book, rather a fictional story based in early Victorian London and has a cleaver use of real historical characters. I really enjoyed this book and was happy to note that it contained a lot of Pratchett's signature dark humour witty insight into human nature. Highly recommend.
