Summary: Only if you already know the series
Review: Terry Pratchett is, oh, 500 books deep into the Discworld series, or at least so it seems. The number is actually around 25. This book is an encyclopedia of Discworld chracters (Death, Cohen the Barbarian and so forth), plus Discworld places and concepts. It's a funny book, but you won't get much out of it if you aren't into the series. If you have read several of the series, it's a great resource -- and, like everything by Pratchett, immensely witty.

Summary: A welcome companion to a complicated world...
Review: The only thing lacking from this survey of Discworldness is the ability to expand through time, and, some might argue, some slightly inadequate entries. Aside from that, use it well to keep the characters straight in your head through the time-warp that is Discworld novels!

Summary: Absolute brilliance
Review: There is not much that can be said about this book, other than, GO AND BUY IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: Hmmm...
Review: This is sort of weird. I mean, it has some new material, but not that much, and Pratchett's jokes tend to work better in the context of a story than as isolated works. For devoted Discworlders this is recommended, but I can't see that you'll really have much use for it, unless you're fanatical enough that you feel the need to cheat at the Discworld Quizbook or something...

Summary: The New One is out in Britain!!!
Review: Though this is a fabulous book for any Discworld fan, the info inside of it is slightly out of date. However, "The New Discworld Companion", a more updated version of the original, can be found on the UK Amazon site. My suggestion is that you get both that and the original, as they are both quite fantastic!

Summary: Very useful.
Review: Very useful for all readers, whether you have been reading Discworld books since you were eleven, like I have, or you have only read one or two and you want to read more. It is well worth the $16.95 I paid for it.
