Story
Somewhere on the frontier between thought and reality exists the Discworld, a parallel time and place that might sound and smell very much like our own, but which looks completely different. Particularly as it’s carried though space on the back of a giant turtle (sex unknown). It plays by different rules. But then, some things are the same everywhere. The Disc’s very existence is about to be threatened by a strange new blight: the world’s first tourist, upon whose survival rests the peace and prosperity of the land.

What do a dead cat, a computer whiz-kid, an electric monk who believes the world is pink, quantum mechanics, a chronologist over 200 years old, Samuel Taylor Coleridge (poet) and pizza have in common? Apparently not much, until Dirk Gently, self-styled private investigator, sets out to prove the fundamental interconnectedness of all things by solving a mysterious murder, assisting a mysterious professor, unravelling a mysterious mystery and eating a lot of pizza - not to mention saving the entire human race from extinction along the way (at no extra charge).

Story
In the 'fantasy' universe of the phenomenally bestselling Discworld series, everything runs on magic and common sense. The world is flat and million-to-one chances happen nine times out of ten. Our world seems different - it runs on rules, often rather strange ones. Science is our way of finding out what those rules are. The appeal of Discworld is that it mostly makes sense, in a way that particle physics does not.

Somewhere on the frontier between thought and reality exists the Discworld, a parallel time and place that might sound and smell very much like our own, but that looks completely different. It plays by different rules. Certainly it refuses to succumb to the quaint notion that universes are ruled by pure logic and the harmony of numbers. But just because the Disc is different doesn't mean that some things don't stay the same.

It can take you to the top of the highest mountain or down to the bottom of the deepest depths of the sea.

It took three young inventors to the moon (where they may or may not have left a bottle of lemonade) and a caveman on a trip to the dentist. You can join them on these adventures, and many more, in this incredible collection of stories....

Summary
Tiffany Aching, the young witch from The Wee Free Men, A Hat Full of Sky, and Wintersmith is back in a new adventure featuring Discworld characters both familiar to fans (such as Tiffany, the Wee Free Men, Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg) and new (meet Wee Mad Arthur, the Nac Mac Feegle on the City Watch whose only previous appearance was a brief cameo in Feet of Clay, and city witch Mrs Proust - a fabulous Pratchett creation).
Oh, and there's a magic book or two, a twist through time, a Cunning Man - and a Giant Man of chalk....

Perfect Pratchett
I've always loved the Discworld books and this one is no diffrent. The characters are as engaging, funny and, in some cases, mad as ever and the story is one you can really get into. It?s great to see how much Tiffany has grown since the fist time we met her (frying pan in hand) but how she is still very much the same person she?s always been.

Pratchett at his best
I love Terry's Pratchett's books and over the years I can only conclude that he is getting better ! I Shall Wear Midnight is a beautifully written narrative of a young witch finding her way in life and coping with the difficulties of relationships, responsibilities and the inevitable numerous meetings with Death. The book made me laugh and cry, and I listened to it twice - back to back - as I was sure that the second hearing would add even more colour - which it did. The chapters were the right length for me on my 30min commute. Highly recommended - a great listen.

This is only my second audiobook, and I must say that I am hooked. The narrator takes you into the story and tells it so wonderfully. I am now looking at my back catalogue of Terry Pratchett books to see which one I want on audio.

I love the witchy books best of all
Although a total fan of Terry Pratchett, I do like his 'Witch' books best of all. This one, featuring Tiffany Aching is delightful. One thing I DO like about Terry Pratchett's writing, is that he is obvious a VERY sensible man, and his take on life is so logical. He makes fun of the daft inconsistencies of our world.
I do like Stephen Briggs best of the readers who narrate the unabridged Pratchetts, this, too, makes a difference to the listening enjoyment.
A jolly good use of a valuable credit.

Not his best
I've loved every Terry Pratchett book to date but was slightly disappointed by this one. The narration was excellent but the story was not as sharp as I've come to expect from him. I wondered whether the Alzheimer's was having an effect and the book was not pure Pratchett? Still good but slightly more of a children's story than any previous books including the 'children's stories'

A Pterry goodie
A good book to end the series, darker in nature than the other three but Tiffany has grown up and it shows, shame to see it end as collectively they have all been good, but that I suppose is a matter of opinion.
And the narration by Stephen Briggs brilliant as usual, with the range of character voices he uses you would not think it is the same person.
