Pros & Cons
Pros
Terry pratchett is the master of a fantasy sub-genre that probably belongs to him alone. Wyrd sisters is a fun and witty read.
I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for some lighthearted reading that will have you laughing out loud. The writing is so enjoyable and the story perfection. The book is enjoyable.

Shipping
