An amusing little read and a funny take on hell. Nice to hear from Rincewind again. I also liked that this was a comparatively quick read, especially as I look at how thick some of the upcoming Discworld novels are... You were worried that we were never going to see Rincewind again, weren't you? That's okay, so was I. He's not out of trouble though. Never, that would be unlike Rincewind. This time he's called from the dungeon dimension by the Discworld's first hacker demonologist, Eric. He is a teenager with his acne and dreams of adoration and power--provided that everything continues to work properly. Of course, they will not, but kids can have their dreams--until they end up in Hell with the King of the Demon's on their tail. Hell, they find is rather unlike what they had expected. Will Eric make it back home to relax and put to bed his childish dreams of ruling the world consequence free? Will Rincewind manage to get out? A pretty short Discworld novel - mysteriously published by a different publisher, but seemingly a part of the sequence. It's three parts linked by an overarching story that brings Rincewind back into the universe. Myths and legends are given a humerous twist, with added elelements from our own world that have a more satirical bent. Which I guess is pretty much the formula Pratchett operates to. Good fun as always no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0380821214, Mass Market Paperback)Discworld's only demonology hacker, Eric, is about to make life very difficult for the rest of Ankh-Morpork's denizens. This would-be Faust is very bad...at his work, that is. All he wants is to fulfill three little wishes:to live forever, to be master of the universe, and to have a stylin' hot babe. But Eric isn't even good at getting his own way. Instead of a powerful demon, he conjures, well, Rincewind, a wizard whose incompetence is matched only by Eric's. And as if that wasn't bad enough, that lovable travel accessory the Luggage has arrived, too. Accompanied by his best friends, there's only one thing Eric wishes now -- that he'd never been born!
