A zany bunch of futuristic actors--Victor, the eternal student; Ginger, the milkmaid; Dibbler, the sausage salesman; and Gaspode, the talking dog--embarks on an epic movie project.
Finas ironías y chistes al más puro estilo Pratchett, esta vez con el mundo del espectáculo y la fama como diana. Quizá echo en falta más profundidad de los personajes al ser una historia ajena a las cuatro grandes líneas argumentales.
Al final le falta algo.
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.
