Publisher Description

In Wyrd Sisters, the enchanting world of Discworld is turned upside down by 3 meddling witches: Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg, and Magrat Garlick. Their interference in royal politics causes kingdoms to wobble, crowns to topple, knives to flash, and citizens to shudder in fear. Terry Pratchett's vividly imaginative story takes you on a journey with hunchbacked monarchs, lost crowns, disguised heirs, refueling broomsticks, and frightening thunderstorms, as the three sisters battle the odds to restore the rightful king to the throne. This is the sixth book in the Discworld series.

"This was a pretty enjoyable read, and one of the earlier Discworld books that I had skipped over. There is some very clever and funny banter between the three witches (and Granny Weatherwax, as always is a brilliant character) and the parody of/respect given towards Shakespeare's Macbeth is also pretty brilliant. All in all a fun read, but I wouldn't expect anything else from Mr. Pratchett."

    " This was the first book I read completely on a tablet. I don't think this was the best format to read this book. I found the device to be a distraction. The story line was kind of stop and go for me. I had a difficult time getting into the book (because of the device???). At times the story was very compelling at other times, I hardly understood what was happening. Hope I can speak intelligently at book club tonight. "

    " I got this book at The Globe Theatre in London. I thought that the description was innovative. The story has many literary allusions to Shakespeare. Like the three witches from Macbeth...plus the story line is rather similar to many of Shakespeare's plays. A King is murdered! A lost heir is found...ghosts of dead people....It's really cool! "

    " I love Sir Terry Pratchett, and have done so since the first book I picked up by him 11 years ago. The things he write are always amusing, but they are also so deep and profound it gives you goosebumps - between your bursts of laughter. "

    " Good, appropriately entertaining Pratchett. You can tell it's one of his earlier ones because both the characters and the writing style aren't fully developed. "

    " So far I love it. This is my second of the Discworld books for adults and so far I'd say I like the ones for juveniles better. But this is fun. He's great at plays on words and little twists that turn normal thinking in a new direction. "

    " The first book featuring Pratchett's coven of three very odd witches. These books are so much fun. If you don't read any other Discworld books, read Wyrd Sisters, Witches Abroad, and then Lords and Ladies. But remember--a good imagination and sense of humor are a must! "
