Truckers: The Bromeliad Trilogy #1 Audiobook (Unabridged)

" 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. "

" 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. "

" not quite sure if it was this one or Diggers that I read. "

" Much fun (and more than a little silly). Enjoyed this one with my son. Some terrific word play. And, on a certain level, thought-provoking. We've already started the sequel. "

" Charming, entertaining and - oddly - socially relevant, this story shows how a bunch of miniature nomes must overcome religious differences, inter-family hostility and mankind in order to survive. With the world of people seen, affectionately very effectively, through the eyes of the nomes, mankind comes out as second-rate and plodding, and that's before our behaviour is taken into account. The POV caused the Juniors a few problems - they couldn't "get" some of the inferences, but they enjoyed the story and were keen to get to the end. "

" Terry Pratchett is always entertaining, but this was particularly fabulous for its play with perspective--the gnome's interpretation of "signs" and the idea of literally living in total ignorance of the outside world and turning it into a religion is perfectly executed. "

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

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

" 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. "

" Started out slow, but got much better. Kinda like a cross between Redwall and Discworld. "

" I've been meaning to read some Pratchett for years now, so it was nice to finally sit down with one. Loved it - charming and funny, looking foward to reading the others. "

" okay. not bad, but not gripping. "

" 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. "

" A fun, quick read. Very Terry Pratchettee, particularly in regards to his treatment of religion, and his grasp of human nature. "

" One of the funniest book i've read. "

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

" A lovely book. The world created under the store is enchanting! "

" 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. "

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

" I absolutely did not enjoy this book... Too confusing and not enjoyable for me. "

" Recently listened to this again. Soooo funny! I just love how the nomes perceive humans. "

" This, in my opinion, is Terry Pratchett's masterpiece. It's supposedly a children's book, but the themes are definitely beyond what most children can comprehend. They are beyond what most adults can understand. It's a children's book so it's funny and cute. Don't be fooled. "

" 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. "
