Summary

Eric is the Discworld's only demonology hacker. Pity he's not very good at it. All he wants is his three wishes granted. Nothing fancy: to be immortal, to rule the world, and have the most beautiful woman in the world fall madly in love with him. The usual stuff.

But instead of a tractable demon, Eric calls up Rincewind, the most incompetent wizard in the universe, and his extremely intractable and hostile travel accessory, the Luggage. With them on his side, Eric's in for a ride through space and time that is bound to make him wish (quite fervently) that he'd never been born.

Great book!

Its worth listening to this just to hear Tony Robinson pronounce the demons name. Enjoyed the audiobook, shame its abridged, but definitely recommend.

disc world at its best.

for fans of disc world, can get no better. a ironic and fantastical prachett approach to faust. Rincewind at his peak, unfortunately I feel he gets tired and overused after this book. Eric is great, again exploiting the funny literal in a teenager with power. and the only book with the creator. One of the few with chapters, even though not explicitly said, feels likes coherent short stories. very, very, good.

Eric discworld

In Eric, I found that I couldn't quite follow the begging but despite this I really enjoyed the rest and I think it was read very well.

I would recommend this to a friend as I know I really enjoyed it and most of my friends like many of the sort of things I do.

Legend

Most boring reviews you'll ever find summed up in three words....TERRY PRATCHETT LEGEND! Don't bother reading my reviews for his other books, they're the same!

Another gripping (abridged) story read by Tony

Tony Robinson brings the words to life and keeps me gripped right up to the end. Shame it is abridged. Would love to here him read a full version

Basic but fine, fails to connect to Airplay devices

As the title, app works okay but it won’t connect to any of the devices (speakers) I have via Airplay, it just hangs up and says ‘connecting’ until I reset the app. This is the only app that won’t connect so it has to be something to do with this app.

Poor narration

Good Terry Pratchett text as always. Confounded by really poor narration. There are other much better told stories from the disc world set.
