Review of 'The Last Hero' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
I wasn't sure what to expect of an illustrated Discworld book, but it turned out to be one of my favorites. The illustrations are beautiful and complement the story in a way that I did not expect. I thought I preferred to imagine what I was reading, but the images made it so much better that I am now wondering why there aren't more illustrated Discworld books. Most of the images are awe inspiring and make me want to frame and hang them on the wall.
While Cohen and the Silver Horde have gone to face the gods and settle some old debts, Rincewind, Carrot and Leonard visit the stars (and elephants). This book is amazing, definitely worth it even if it's a shorter than a normal Discworld book. And if you know a couple of NASA curiosities, you'll probably enjoy this even more.
Warning: even though I bought it …

Warning: even though I bought it as kindle version, you will not take advantage of this book if read on a black/white kindle.
