4+ just because it's Terry Pratchett and reading it made my day better.

As a huge discworld fan I thought i'd give this a go, it's nowhere near on the same level as the Bromeliad Trilogy (Truckers, Diggers, Wings... read them!) or the younger discworld books, but it was enjoyable nonetheless and had a satisfying conclusion.

I found that unlike the other younger Pratchett books above, this really is only for kids and doesnt really go any deeper, it's kind of Pratchett Lite.

Her şey orada bekliyor, diye düşündü Johnny. Zamanın özelliği bu. Zaman makinesi yapmanın ne kadar uzun süreceği önemli değil. Hepimiz ölebiliriz ve evrim, köstebeklerle falan, yeniden başlar. Hatta milyonlarca sene sürebilir. Ama eninde sonunda biri onu yapacak. Bir... makine bile olmayabilir. Belki de yalnızca, zamanın ne olduğunu anlama meselesidir; tıpkı eskiden herkesin yıldırımdan korkması gibi ve sonra bir gün birinin çıkıp, “Bakın, onu küçük şişelerde biriktirebilirsiniz,” demesi gibi. Y...

The third and last Johnny Maxwell book is about time travel, and all the mind-bending possibilities and different trouser legs of time. It is entertaining, the kids’ dialogue is silly and quirky, but the most value for a Discworld fan is seeing the ideas emerge that pop up in Pratchett’s other books. “Trousers legs of time” shows ip in Jingo, that I just finished, relating to a confused Disorganizer. Time travel, of course, occurs in several other books, like Nightwatch and Thief of Time. And th...

This third volume in the Johnny Maxwell trilogy is the most ambitious, tackling the subject of time travel in a funny and at the same time thoughtful way. Johnny and his friends find the bag lady Mrs. Tachyon apparently mugged on the street, and in getting her medical care are stuck with her shopping cart full of squishy, disturbingly motile garbage bags. The thing is, her bags are apparently stuffed with Time, and in messing with them, Johnny and Kirsty (who keeps changing her name) and then th...

Unfortunately read a North American edition so words like cookie and trash were incongruously appearing in wartime England. Good luck getting anything sensible dialling 911 as well! References to The Thunderbirds and Flowerpot Men were left intact so surely the American reader would have had much less trouble with biscuit and rubbish! All that aside, this was a gentle Pratchett romp with sly humour at many turns.

I’ve always been a fan of Terry Pratchett’s Johnny Maxwell series – they were written and published during what I’d consider to be his golden years, and what’s interesting about the Johnny Maxwell books is that they’re set in our reality.In this book, Johnny and his friends take a trip back in time after finding a magic, time-travelling trolley that belongs to the local bag lady. That allows Pratchett to experiment with genre, by writing a sort of realistic fantasy, which has some grounding in h...

Like it!
