thomas_edmund 's review for:
The Wee Free Men
by Terry Pratchett
I was intensely interested to get into reading Wee Free Men, as I thought I'd read it before and not enjoyed it at the time - but realized I hadn't actually finished the whole book before.
In a similar vein to the Amazing Maurice, the style is very different to other Discworld novels - much more traditionally structured, although perhaps moreso than the previously mentioned book, Wee Free Men feels a little more zany as a Discworld should.
I suspect the reason I struggled last time I read this is I didn't fully get all of the Free Men's utterances (admittedly I still didn't this read-through either but enough for a laugh). I also felt like the Free Men were a bit of a duex ex machina, except when reading the book fully through Pratchett balances their appearances really well the final act more focussed on Tiffany's character than random appearances from the little blue guys.
Anyway this is the exciting beginning of reading the rest of the Tiffany Aching books which I haven't read at all, so its all new to me.
