Highlights

Love terry pratchett, this is an excellent beginning to a new thread
It meets the standard for this series meaning it's humorous, clever read full of great characters and colourful ideas.
This is the second copy of moving pictures i have purchased, the first having been worn out by multiple readings since the 90's.
Unfortunately, many are to very old films, that are meaningful to old film fans.
Price
Anything by sir terry pratchett is worth the time & money to read.

Most of his characterizations sound as though he was speaking through a larynx that had been severely damaged from having been strangled

If you are a classic movie fan you will get all the gags

Even if you only get 50 of the gags this is worth reading a second and third time

Mp is possibly one of pratchetts more pointed satires where he more squarely takes aim at hollywood god only knows what this book would be like in modern times but i suspect there would be a lot more skewering going on although something to always keep in mind is that pratchett was masterful at satire without actually targeting anyone hurtfully so he would have found a way to make us laugh
