Beth Winter's Reviews

Esteemed Scholar: Beth Winter Total Posts in Terry Pratchett 42 1. Favorite book and why? Everything by Terry Pratchett, James O'Barr, Neil Gainman and William Gibson 2. Least favorite book and why? Don't have one ;-) I read everything 3. Favorite scene in favorite book and why? I think the "there is a man / playing a violin / and the strings / are the nerves in his own arm" page in J. O'Barr's "The Crow", for the sheer intensity of emotion. The denouement in Pratchett's "Jingo" comes close though, for the unimitable feeling of both bursting with laughter and every piece of the puzzle falling into place 4. Favorite character and why? I think this would have to be Patrician Vetinari of Ankh-Morpork (Pratchett's Discworld), for his political brilliance and juggling skills 5. Which character do you identify most with and why? Likewise, Havelock Vetinari -- I'm just like him, only female, younger and better-looking 6. If you could see a sequel to one of the author's books, which would it be and what would it be about? A better sequel to "The Crow", involving some supernatural elements as well as Eric's soul becoming more and more tainted with violence. Also Mort's adventures between "Mort" and "Soul Music" 7. What do you like about author's writing style? Pterry's ability to put the maximum amount of both laughter and seriousness into seemingly everyday language. 8. What are your favorite themes of this author? Death, politics and the meaning of life 9. What could be most improved about this authors books? NOTHING!!!!! <-- amount of exclamation marks intentional Reviews The Colour of Magic The Light Fantastic Feet of Clay Equal Rites
