Wings: The Bromeliad Trilogy #3 (Abridged) Audiobook

" this was fun and easy. i like pratchett. the end. oh! but not, because also it was interesting to watch a borrowers-sized world without so much "this is the clever way we adapt!" and instead "this is our life. it kind of sucks but also is awesome." "

" Brilliant! I can never think of department stores the way I once did... "

" This was such a light and simple read. If I had children this would be a perfect book to read out-loud to them. It lends itself to silly voices and that kind of storytelling. "

" I ended up loving it, though at first the gnomes didn't grab me. The three stars are relative to TP's oeuvre. A three for a Pratchett book is an 11 for many other authors. "

" Very slow read. Hard to finish. "

" So funny! Gives great insight into the world of humans by looking at life through nomes' eyes. Very tongue in cheek! "

" Managed to finish it but it was a very slow read. Just not that compelling. "

" Charming story with heroes, knaves and improbable quests. Pratchett designs the most interesting, metaphorical worlds that skewer all the pomp and ritual of our lives. "

" It's a children's book, or so they say, but I'd say it's enjoyable at all ages. "

" An unexpectedly wonderful set of tales. "

" Seriously. My FAVORITE book of all time. I read it every year to my 4th graders. "

" The Bromeliad is about half way between 'Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy" and 'The borrowers' A group of tiny nomes ( like garden gnomes but alive)are evited from a department store about to be closed. This is not great literature, but it is both funny and entertaining. "

" Bargains Galore! I need time to read more than just a half chapter every night. Very clever take on perception. More to come. "

" Amber, here's another one for the kids! :) "

" didn't finish it...not sure specifically why "

" I can totally see a Pixar animation done based on this story. Good stuff. Could've been brilliant but it's not. "

" These three children's book made me weep and want to explore the world! Seriously, there is more here than just some nomes! "

" So, so, so clever and witty as only Pratchett can do. Arnold Bros. Est. 1905 rules! "

" Fantastic series by Sir T - once begun the trilogy has to be finished. "

" I've just recently re-read these and I enjoyed them as much as I did the first time I read them. There are some really nice insights into human nature in here. Well worth a read for these alone. "

" Read the first two but gave up before the last, iirc. "

" This is a fantastic book to read to children and to just read (OK, yes I do tend to read ahead) "

" don't know how any one couldn't love these.stories "

" An amazing read. I liked the nomes' interactions with eachother and how very much like humans they are, despite thinking they're totally different from us. I especially like the sections with the frogs in the third book. "

" These were fun books. I love his wit and sarcasm and occasionally I was reminded of Amelia Bedelia--like their confusion over the sign Road Works Ahead. "

" 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. "
