a publié une critique de Au guet ! par Terry Pratchett (Les Annales du Disque-monde, #8)

C'est particulier.

Premier livre de Pratchett que je lis.

L'histoire est sympa et drôle. Les personnages sont attachants.

Mais j'ai dû m'accrocher pour venir à bout de cette lecture qui m'a demandé beaucoup de concentration. Le style est particulier et à force d'absurdités, je me suis retrouvée souvent perdue, à devoir relire un paragraphe pour en comprendre le sens.

Donc c'est un avis mitigé.

Guards! Guards! Brief Review

This book came highly recommended as an entry point into Terry Pratchett's Discworld. I found the characters and story humorous, but it felt like a bit of a slog to get through. I eventually found the humour a bit repetitive, although the story was tied up somewhat nicely at the end.

I am curious if it is worth giving the DiscWorld City Watch series another shot. Are there any better entry points to the series as a whole?
