MOBI tripzmode.co Ö Strata eBook à strata kindle, Strata PDFEPUB Strata is another early foray that Pratchett took in to Science Fiction before he rested himself firmly in to the loving arms of Fantasy My views on this one are similar to that of his other sci fi novel The Dark Side of the Sun in that it isn't necessarily a good novel let alone a good sci fi storyThe joy of this one is of course once again the fact that it pre empts the Discworld so wonderfully You can clearly see PTerry's mind cogs whirring and the imagination is startling However he isn't particularly adept at writing sci fi again we have stuttering explanations and uite shoddy sci fi elements where it feels like he was truly excited by this piece of tec
MOBI tripzmode.co Ö Strata eBook à strata kindle, Strata PDFEPUBThis was Pratchett's third published novel and one of the few Sci fi books he's written I feel odd giving it four stars because honestly I enjoyed it on a five star level But the truth is a lot of the reasons I enjoyed it because in this early book you get a glimpse of books he was going to write in the future including discworld and his upcoming Long Earth series with Steven Baxter That said it was an early novel of his and his craft is a little shaky compared to what it would become in his later books But on the other hand even early Pratchet with some shaky craft is better than a lot of the books out there these days

MOBI tripzmode.co Ö Strata eBook à strata kindle, Strata PDFEPUBDespite reading Pratchett since I was twelve I've never picked up Strata Why? It's just not particularly goodThat's a hard thing for a massive Pratchett fan to say but my favourite thing about this book is that I've finished itIt's episodic to a fairly ridiculous degree So this happened Then this happened Then they kept walking and this happened Then they flew for a while and this happened None of the happening are in any way influenced by the previous happenings It's just a long chain of stuff that happened after each other Each happening has a clever idea but they all stand in isolation there's no cohesive plot And then the end happenedYes it's always fun to see the early scribblings of a genius but to me this is like the early stumblings of a brilliant distance runner He soon got into his stride and
MOBI tripzmode.co Ö Strata eBook à strata kindle, Strata PDFEPUBWhile this may not have been his best work or best writing I can definitely see the humor and beginnings of his slightly subversive wit and worldview peaking out It’s not near as polished as his later work but I liked this crazy story about the origins of the universe our inability to not create and the importance of diversity as much as is physically possible being the key to the future Plus I forgot how fun the kooky 70’s 80’s sci fi could be

MOBI tripzmode.co Ö Strata eBook à strata kindle, Strata PDFEPUBThis book is not very interesting but very encouraging I am making myself finish it not because I care much about what happens to the characters but rather because I care about what happened to the author for this humble book appears to be the first iteration of Pratchett's DiscworldAs a writer I find it very exciting to note that the Discworld concept that works so brilliantly as a humorous fantasy really stinks as a straight forward Science Fiction p

MOBI tripzmode.co Ö Strata eBook à strata kindle, Strata PDFEPUBI'm glad I had a headache the other night I wanted to read something light and that I knew I would enjoy and this early gem from Sir Terry just sat on my shelf asking to be readI'd read it before probably twice but as it turns out I seem to have remembered precisely 1% of this novel so this first re read since Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency a year ago was much neededIt's a strange book It's uite definitely a science fiction story the apparent reference of Ringworld meaning it has to be and I say apparent because I am yet to read that particular masterwork and it is uite definitely a fantasy story too uests and djinns and magical beasts and swords leave no room for maneuver on this point The phrase 'laying of groundwork' has been used in on eway or another to describe Strata and that is something that I will join the masses in proclaiming as there's so much Discworld lore to be found within these mere 192 pages that if any other author had written The Colou
MOBI tripzmode.co Ö Strata eBook à strata kindle, Strata PDFEPUBI am so glad that when I was introduced to Terry Pratchett the book I was given was the Colour of Magic and not thie oneIf this had been my first exposure to Pratchett I doubt I would ever have bothered to read anything of his ever againNow that I know Pratchett's work better I can look back with interest and observe the development of a best selling author from this to his celebrated worksIf you are new to Pratchett and are reading this my recommendation would be to start with something mature anything with the witches in for exampleThe problem with this book is it is very much like those dreadful B list movies which were rushed out in a great hurry once CGI became a feasible technology Just as those film were all about huge explosions terrifying plunges massed ranks of monsters and other spectacular
