The first book in terry pratchett's discworld series introduces us to the remarkably inept wizard rincewind. The story follows a tourist named twoflower as he sight-sees with a flunked out wizard as his guide. Finally, the luggage is.
The author's voice is unmatched for the glory it takes in the language, and the human foibles identified in the humorous prose.
Cons
Pratchett in this first discworld book feels discombobulated and forced. I swear the author has add/adhd and didn't take his meds while writing this book. This is the worst quality audio i’ve ever purchased!
