Truckers: The Bromeliad Trilogy #1 (Abridged) Audiobook

" not quite the same caliber as discworld... "

" Another book group read - definitely an author to recommend to children and adults alike. Reading aloud with junior age children would open up many good discussions; these books operate on several different levels and major life themes are covered. Not just for the kids! "

" My husband is a Terry Pratchett fan and I've read many of his books to help us relate to each other. It is fun to see the different style and personality of science fiction. It took me a while to catch on to his sense of humor, but now I laugh out loud while I read. "

" As always i enjoyed this book and Terry is the only Author that has made me laugh whilest reading. "

" Fun, but not my favorite Pratchett. Even though it was geared for children, it seemed too watered-down. "

" I keep wanting to LOVE Terry Pratchett because my friends are so crazy about his stuff but I only like it. It's entertaining enough but I'm not ready to devour every title of his I can find like I am after a Brandon Sanderson read. "

" My first Pratchett. SO much fun! I can't wait to read the next two :D "

" A delightful tale on one level, and a lovingly biting satire of religion on another. Terry Pratchett is wise and warm and funny. "

" A book for younger readers, still enjoyable all the same. "

" I rated it a five because most of my books are not as exiting and adventurous as this one and it was a good change. "

" Very Funny! We were laughing while the next person read it, too! "

" OK so l'm an old kid but l enjoyed this sequel to The Carpet People and then went straight into the last one TRUCKERS. "

" Short, simple, fun. Not a particularly deep book, but more enjoyable to read than Prachett's recent output. "

" Great trilogy. A really fun story, and a good thinker for youth. Very similar to Plato's "Allegory of the Cave". "

" This book isn't really bad, per se, it's just that Pratchett's so much better in his later work that the Trucker books seem vastly inferior in comparison. "

" Typical pratchetesque thoughts on life, politics, religion, and culture. To think this is a childrens book - there is so much more i'm picking up reading it as an adult I tell you! "

" I love children's lit that doesn't behave like its audience is stupid, especially at the middle school level. The language is simple enough for mid-elementary reading levels, but the humor, adventures, and philosophy are engaging even for adults. "

" Reading the trilogy, so will let you all know what I think about them when I finish. At the moment finding them enjoyable. "

" I liked the way this book made you look at humanity from ankle height. It also carries a lot of Pratchett's humor, but it's not over the top like some of his books. A good young adult read. "

" Nomes! And starships? Can't wait to see what's next with these guys. "

" Engaging little gnomes discover theres more to the world than they can see, and even if they are quite literal about it theres more than one meaning to what they do see. "

" I love everything I've read by TP, but there was something about this book by him, as with The Amazing Maurice, that I just really took to heart. Also, very funny. Sophisticated ideas without being high-falutin'. "

" Why have I put off reading Pratchetts early kids' books for so long? I enjoyed this a lot more than I expected to. Sure, it isn't up to his more recent stuff, but it's a lot better than early Discworld. "

" Pratchett tells the story of gnomes from outside who meet gnomes in a department store. They escape into the outside world and try to find a safe place from people. They were fun books, but the first one was the best. "
