Terry Pratchett rules! Of the Discworld books, those with the witches are my favorites. Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg are two of the funniest characters ever; wherever they go, hilarity ensues. This book is fractured fairytale-telling at its best.

This book is not one of the better ones in Terry Pratchett's Discworld series, although the Witches series as a whole is a little weak. On the other hand, a weak book by Pratchett is still a great book. Witches Abroad is about fairy tales and the hold that they have over people. Without going into details, I will say that after reading this book you will have new-found sympathy for the wolf in Little Red Riding Hood. I recommend this book to all Pratchett fans and to readers who like fairy tales, although after this book you will never read a fairy tale the same way again.

All in all not the best book from Terry. I bought it just because it was a Pratchett and I'm happy about miss weatherwax stuff, always a must. In the other hand the plot is a litle too much for the result, I should counsel some other pratchett if you are buying your first pratchett, like "GUARDS GUARDS". But if you are a Pratchett fan this is good fun.

Terry Pratchett is gifted. His humorous turn of phrase and outrageous characters are always a treat, but I love the witches most of all. When Granny and Nanny get together its always an adventure. In Witches Abroad they leave their own little part of the world to look for a fairy godmother gone wrong. I laughed out loud in public places when reading this book, and I've read it more than a few times. Terry Pratchett is gifted. Give yourself a gift and read his books.
