    The usual Discworld humour — completely farcical and not terribly subtle. Not my favourite Pratchett, but not disappointing either. Just the sort of thing to read when one has the flu and doesn't feel up to anything else! July 1992 Related reviews: - ... (read full critics)

    A bit of a longer book, Moving Pictures ensures the reader doesn't get bored by shilling out excitement and laughs throughout the story.

    We meet up with a very studious and smart wizard student who works very hard so he can laze around and do nothing, and a beautiful farmer girl with dreams of being famous. Along the way we find animals that talk, banged kernels, and a 50 foot girl hauling an ape up a tower.
