Maskerade: The Play

2015Terry Pratchett

4.2/5

This was definitely well written, pretty descriptive and evocative, rather funny and with not too bad a storyline. So, where did it all go wrong? Well, for my personal tastes, it was simply too daft. To compound this, although I say the book was well written, it is written in the style of a children's fairy tale and more often than not, the humour is in the ridiculous style of writing rather than the story itself. Pratchett never uses one word when he can use fifty - again, particularly if he can write a la dafte. This is at times distracting and without any question, self indulgent tosh - it simply adds nothing to the story and slows it down too much.There is no denying whether this is a good book, just whether it is a great one. I would be wary of expecting literary genius after picking up a Pratchett novel but they would undoubtedly make a top rate holiday time filler.
