    For NON-serious Terry Pratchett fans!
  

*by W***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2017*

Lots of great stuff here for the devoted pTerry Fan.Mr Swimble and his bad day and the mysterious vacuum cleaner is the title story, and it is funny, phantasmagorical and lighthearted.  We also have a great little pirate tale,Fourteen funny (and not so funny) gems from the talented pen of Sir Terry Pratchett.If you loved Dragons at Crumbling Castle, the stories from Terry's early days at the Bucks Free Press, you'll love this. Some are a little dated of course. In a supposedly "modern' story many of today's everyday conveniences are no where to be seen... which might be a Good Thing....Aimed mostly at the younger audience, full of whimsy and sillyness. Sometimes with a point.Illustrated throughout by  the fabulous Mark Beech, the illustrations work very well with this collection.  There's also a bit of silliness with thetypeface at times.Several are set in the Wild Welsh town of Llandanffwnfafegettupagogo (and yes, i had to cut and paste that one, and i am still not sure I got it right!)."Rincemangle, The Gnome of Even Moor" later became Truckers, and there are other hints of pTerry's mad genius to come sprinkled throughout.

    Funny!
  

*by D***S on Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2017*

If you are looking for a light, funny read, this is your book. It was like watching cartoons or Monty Python. Very bad for a bedtime book for me. I found it hard to stop reading, well, actually, listening to this one. 3:00 came too quickly. So, sorry if this sounds more disjointed than my usual reviews.Oh, I listened to the Audible using the whispersynch.  Julian Rhind-Tutt (Narrator) is facinating! His voice changes with every character. He tells the story with so much gusto that sometimes I think I missed story for enthusiastic energy. Even still, at the end of each story I had that sigh of fulfillment.The stories themselves are sadly, mostly, male. In fact, the very first one ended with the main character marrying the witch with us hardly knowing a thing about the witch except that she was a witch. I wanted more about her and that parrot. Please forget that you just read the last two sentences if they seem spoilers. After all, the title of the book is The Witch's Vacuum. Seems like there should be a lot more witch and vacuums than men in the form of police or gnomes. But hey, Mr. Pratchett wrote this when he was a teen and the adage says 'write what you know'. Sadly, Mr. Pratchett knew nothing about the other half of society then. Later he did write some fun books that did have fems but mostly they are witches. Is it any wonder how the world is now if this is all anyone has read most of their lives?Still, I have loved Terry Pratchett's writing, so creative! Magick exists, but sadly without fems. Even colors we have never heard of exists. Don't get me started! YET, I love his writing. Fun, fun stories!So take it with a grain of salt that in male authors' worlds, fems hardly exist. We will try to change that with our own writings and making sure they see us as the other humans. After all the whole language system leaves us behind. Even human. We could be called hu.But it is for this teeny-tiny problem that I am giving the book four stars instead of five. If you can get the audio version you are in for the best story telling around--save for girls, fe=iron.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Half-baked stories and characters ... not the usual Pratchett quality
  

*by C***K on Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2017*

I have to admit that I was disappointed by most of these stories. I am huge fan of Pratchett's Discworld novels, so I was expecting a bit more than half-baked, poorly developed stories and characters. These stories feel like drafts. There are one or two really good short stories, but I'd consider the majority not worth reading.
