“’What do you call them things, there’s always a hundred of them in anything?”
Magrat looked bewildered. “Do you mean percents?”
The Wyrd Sisters can be summed up (and probably not greatly) as a parody of Macbeth with some references to Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland, and other fairytales and plays thrown in. Only, picture a Macbeth who not only imagines his hands covered in blood and wishes to be cleansed of it, but one who takes a cheese grater and some sandpaper to his palms to try to r ...more

Disk'in altıncı, Cadıların ikinci kitabı bu; ve aslında Shakespeare'in kim bilir kaçıncı kitabı!
DiskDünya'yı, KüreDünya'daki bilumum şeyi eleştirme, mizahileştirme ve ironileştirme amacıyla kullanan rahmetli Terry Pratchett'ın gündeminde bu kez hafif İngiltere tarihi, politika-din ekseninde ülke yönetimi ve Shakespeare var.
Kitaptaki Hwel isimli cüce, yerel bir tiyatro grubunun yazarı ve evrenin derinliklerinden gelip kafasına çarpan sayısız ilham zerreciği, ona İngiliz sahnelerinin en ünlü eserl ...more

I just reread this for about the umpteenth time because....
No reason needed, except that, like most Discworld stories, it's wonderful.
**WARNING!**Spoilers**
Wyrd Sisters is, obviously, a parody of Shakespeare's Macbeth (with references to other plays). I personally find it far more enjoyable than the original, but then it's closer to my age and cultural experience than Shakespeare is.

Took me a while to get into.
This one took me a while to plug into. Probably due to the fact that I had a bunch of other stuff going on and was only to give it 10 minutes at a time. Pratchett's writing wants a closer, more sustained read than that. But anything with Granny Weatherwax is great. And Pratchett handles the "meet cute" better than most. 3 stars because the dialog was quite as snappy as previous works and because and Discworld book without The Luggage seems to be missing something. ...more

A lovely funny book in typical Pratchett style. I was reading it aloud to my daughter. We'd already seen the cartoon adaptation, though (which is not as good as the book) and other books beckoned.
