Lovely looking little book, smaller than I was expecting, but it is really nice. No dust jacket but a nice thick textured cover and inner pages that make you feel dizzy!

I read it this evening and I'll be completely honest - I was a bit disappointed, although it is a pretty book, it is also pretty thin - 128 pages.including a title page, printing information page, contents page, blank page, Overview, another blank page, 1 page mini bio, 105 quotes*, 4 pages of "By Terry Pratchett" lists.

I think that for £9.99 they could have found more than 105 "seriously funny" quotes from over 50 books and other sources - there isn't even one from each Discworld book. Even some illustrations would have been nice (9 repeats of the same hat picture is not very exciting).

Obviously as a collectore I had to buy it - as will most of us, does it does seem a bit of a "cash in" just to make money out of us, they are pretty much guaranteed to sell over a million copies so they could have made it more substantial for the money.

Still made me laugh out loud a couple of times though.

*One quote per page, separated by title pages

This is so cute! There’s not much I can say in a review for this since it is basically a novelty picture book, but I loved it.

There’s a cute little illustration of a hug on every page and I just find it really heartwarming. It’s one of my go-to feel-good books that will always cheer me up as well – I just have to flick to a random page for a smile.

I love that there’s little quotes mixed in as well. It’s just such a loving little book and would make a great present to anyone

This is everything I want in a cute romance. Hallmark worthy. But please make this into a movie so I can giggle along with it!
The plot is simple and you know exactly what will happen and it makes it just that much easier to sit back and enjoy the story. You find yourself laughing along with the antics and if you are a horror movie fan trying to place the quotes before finding out what they are. I am not a fan but it was fun anyway.
Perfect nighttime reading when you just want to relax with a Happily Ever After.
