| Additional Notes |
Good
Book. Basically, there's a guitar, with a mind of its own, that takes
control of a young musician. Whenever he plays it, it sounds majestic.
Well, also, the whole of his group can play whenever he does. He and his
group become very popular because of their style, Music with Rocks in.
This whole magical music takes Ankh-Morpork by storm and has the whole
city stamping their feet to the beat. There is a price however. Susan,
successor to Death, who is AWOL, finds the musicians lifetimer to be empty
but the boy not dead, the music was keeping him alive and from there the
story ensues...
One
thing you have got to say about Terry Pratchett is that he is very, very
original. Never do you pick up one of his books and think it's the same,
never. His plots always differ and although most of his books have one
common element, incomprehensible sections (you know, the bits you have to
read twice and have a lie down before you even begin to understand it),
they never are the same. That's why I love his books! This one's a
cracker, although it contains a shortage of appearances from Death, my
favourite character. Again, highly recommended.
