A review by whimsicalmeerkat
Moving Pictures by Terry Pratchett

5.0

So, so funny. I really do absolutely adore [a:Terry Pratchett|1654|Terry Pratchett|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1235562205p2/1654.jpg] and this is one of my favorites to date. Having lived in Hollywood, the satirical depiction of the birth of Holy Wood probably contributed largely to this. Not that that is the only merit by far. Victor, the boy who has consistently gotten a grade on his annual exam that would ensure he never actually became a wizard, becomes Holy Wood's most popular leading man, starring in, among other things, a "click" called Blown Away which is quite obviously intended to be Gone With the Wind. There is a drive of a thousand elephants across plains and mountain ranges. Gaspode the Wonder Dog, a scruffy mutt who speaks, becomes the first agent, and much, much more. I absolutely recommend this book to anyone. I loved it.
