Not quite as big an impact as the first book in the series, but still very funny and at times poignant. ( ) Mildly interesting book, on several levels. Cute little miniature people dealing with the world and the humans is a nice children's story - but how they deal, with the world and each other, and the way their understandings expand, are quite a bit deeper. I wasn't really in the right mood for this, having just finished another book about people arguing against their own best interests, but it was interesting enough to hold me to the end and make me read the next one right away. no reviews | add a review

HTML: In a world whose seasons are defined by Christmas sales and Spring Fashions, hundreds of tiny nomes live in the corners and crannies of a human-run department store. They have made their homes beneath the floorboards for generations and no longer rememberā??or even believe inā??life beyond the Store walls. Until the day a small band of nomes arrives at the Store from the Outside. Led by a young nome named Masklin, the Outsiders carry a mysterious black box (called the Thing), and they deliver devastating news: In twenty-one days, the Store will be destroyed. Now all the nomes must learn to work together, and they must learn to thinkā??and to think BIG. Part satire, part parable, and part adventure story par excellence, master storyteller Terry Pratchett's second title in the engaging Bromeliad trilogy traces the nomes' flight and search for safety, a search that leads them to discover their own astonishing origins and takes them beyond their wildest dre No library descriptions found. |
