I am a latecomer to Terry Pratchett's work, however, I loved the first two novels so much that I just had to have them in this form. I think Discworld fans are an unusual set and, a few errors aside, this is definitely worth having if you're a fan.

I'm a big Pratchett fan, and generally feel that if it's Discworld-related, it's probably worth buying (well, in moderation, there's so much DW stuff out there). So in that respect, The Discworld Graphic Novels is indeed worth buying. However, it is not perfect. There are, as earlier reviewers have said, a number of spelling errors, which I find odd bc someone had to write the lettering in by hand, so didn't they notice? Also, I'm just not a huge fan of the two novels, and often get sick of Rincewind during one of his books. And sometimes with graphic novels (esp the ones that were comic books first) I have a hard time reading the dialogue in the right order, which gets annoying. I guess I'm more of a linear reader. So did I love it? No, but I enjoyed it, and thought Twoflower and the Luggage were well done.

Not a skimpy novel! Large volume; loaded with great illustrations, and of course the ingenious wit of Pratchett. A must for any Discworld fan.

I personally like to use my imagination while reading a book to come up with the images that the author is trying to convey. This book gives the story while showing you the descriptions. The drawings are wonderful and the story still rings true, but if you are looking for the full 'DiscWorld Experience' I would read the actual novels. These books would be good for younger readers who enjoy the graphic novel genre.
