A review by sage01
Moving Pictures (Discworld, #10; Industrial Revolution, #1) by Terry Pratchett

3.0

Disability tag for Poons and his wheelchair, characterization of him & other people's opinions thereof. Poons was mocked as roundly as any other character, and in this one, TP sends up just about everyone, so it at least felt fair.

I can't believe how long it took me to finish this book. Normally I can fly through a Discworld book in a day and a half, but this one kept putting me to sleep. I liked the last third quite a lot, though, so the 3 stars are mainly from that. Gaspode the Underdog is an awesome narrative voice, and I wish I were less aware of how he's intentionally designed to be the book's unsung hero. I hate feeling emotionally manipulated into adoring a character. But I'm just so freaking FOND. *sigh*
