Absolutely bonkers

This is possibly one of the craziest adventure books I've ever read, and I wouldn't expect any less of a Discworld book. It's bonkers, funny and such an entertaining read. Rincewind has really grown on me too as a character, although I don't feel Twoflower's eccentricities were highlighted quite as much in this book as in The Colour of Magic. Such a fun read.

Good casting (1 more)

Good music

Just a bit contrived (0 more)

Unfortunately I read the book before watching, so it does colour my perception. On its own the movie is good, a little ‘fluffy’ in places and a little contrived in others. The dynamics I found fascinating in the book are missing in the movie. That said, the casting is good, cgi is amazing and the music perfect,

Not bad, but probably not the best book to start reading James Bond with, I think. Honestly, I don’t know as I would read any more anyway. This was for my library’s reading challenge (a colour), and at least it was short!
Scaramanga is the villain of this piece, and I have to admit to preferring the film to the book - not something I’ve actually experienced before!!
