Discworld's pesky alchemists are up to their old tricks again. This time, they've discovered how to get gold from silver -- the silver screen that is. Hearing the siren call of Holy Wood is one Victor Tugelbend, a would-be wizard turned extra. He can't sing, he can't dance, but he can handle a sword (sort of), and now he wants to be a star.

Alchemists are responsible for a lot of explosions in Ankh-Morpork, but a lack of explosion marks the beginning of the moving pictures era. However, it may just be that founding Holy Wood is not a new and original idea, but an idea that some thing or things want to ressuscitate.

Even though this was possibly the first Discworld book that I was able to keep track of everything that happened, it did not feel as good as some of the previous ones. As always, there is magic in the way Pratchett chooses themes and the way we learn important life lessons without even realising it. I never enjoyed wizards as much as I did in this book and Victor was a great main character. What a wonderful world.
