Book Title: The Colour of Magic
Author(s): Terry Pratchett
Publishing Year: 1983
Review:
In this book, the main character is a wizard named Rincewind - But he's not exactly a wizard. He can't do magic. He has a spell trapped inside his head, and it keeps him from doing any magic. But more about that in the next book.
Rincewind becomes a guide for an extremely naive tourist, Twoflower, who has Luggage that follows him everywhere. Twoflower doesn't really seem to grasp life in the same way people are really supposed to, and he always is optimistic, which annoys Rincewind to some degree.
Together, the two go on a journey across the Disc of their world (It is called the Discworld, of course), which sits on the back of four elephants and a giant turtle (the turtle's name is A'Tuin).
During their journey they have many different confusing and amazing adventures, leading them through a plethora of strange and awkward situations, including meeting Death, who always talks in CAPITAL LETTERS.
But what they don't know, is that their entire journey, is being controlled by the Gods playing a board game...
The story from this book continues in the second Discworld novel, The Light Fantastic.
Favorite Part(s):
Haha, the 'Big Bang Theory' mentioned near the beginning of the book. It's just really funny!
I liked the parts with Twoflower's camera, because it was really a little man sitting inside a box and painting pictures.
Also, the Luggage is my favorite character. It's like a trunk, kind of, but with lots of legs. It walks. It eats people. It folds and stores your laundry. (Who wouldn't want one?)
