My favourite Terry Pratchett characters as a Graphic Novel, what's not to like!

Not much to be honest, it brings the Guards to life in a much better way than the forthcoming BBC America adaptation seems to be doing! Obviously the story is trimmed but the humour and characterisations are still there. Not as great as the book but still a very good version.

In a parallel to the Ugly Duckling story, Quackeline is a duck who wants to be a swan but her mum says, 'Being yourself is hard work. But it's easier than trying to be someone else!' Part of the Changing Minds Project from the Royal College of Psychiatrists.

A book of quotations by philosophers through the ages. The format is interesting - the right-hand page has one key quote, and on the left-hand page there are several quotes including the context for the one on the right-hand page. Interesting for browsing.

I don't believe I would have known what was going on if I hadn't read the novel. Only Nobby looked like I imagined him, Vimes looked immensely wrong, but I liked how Lady Sybil was drawn.
