No folklore, just fairy tales.

Revisado: 07-18-18

If you have some under the age of 10 and want to introduce them to Sherlock Holmes, you can use this book. If you like Sherlock Holmes and his methods, this work is pitiful. The first story is just Goldilocks and the three Bears, and the second one is a tired retread of Rumplestiltskin. Don't think I'll listen to the rest of it.

Why the blood?

Revisado: 12-08-13

What disappointed you about The Templar Salvation?

This book, and the followup, Devil's Elixer, both have fine basic ideas. The flashbacks in this book are good, but the modern section seems to be devoted to sadistic violence and bloodshed. It is the same in the Devil's Elixer. If you don't mind graphic and senseless violence, you will like this book better than I.

Would you be willing to try another book from Raymond Khoury? Why or why not?

No. The first one in the series was acceptable, but the second and third entries in the series are not. There is too much graphic and unnecessary violence.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Templar Salvation?

I would limit the descriptions of violence and bloodshed. The author seems to take a sadistic pleasure in detailing this.

So sad.

Revisado: 01-31-13

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

I always look forward to a new Pratchett book. This one is much less than a good effort. It is a random collecton of parts of old Pratchett books stitiched together with stories from earth. To say that it has any narrative value at all would be an exaggeration. Of DODGER, this was a terrible disappointment. Would recommend it none.

What could Terry Pratchett and Jacqueline Simpson have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

They could have put the book into a narrative stream and at least made stories out of the folklore and myths of the Discworld.

What does Michael Fenton Stevens bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Nice narration, I would listen to other books he reads.

What character would you cut from The Folklore of Discworld?

All of the except Death.

Any additional comments?

Hope that this book does not indicate a trend in Terry Pratchett's work.

Wicked waste of time

Revisado: 12-04-09

From the way this book was written, someone has to pay to have it printed. The writting reminds me of the miserable ramblings of a tween with a
jejune iminagination. The reader is even worse.
I suspect that there are worse books in the library, but you would have to look hard to find it.
