The Colour of Magic (Discworld, #1)The Colour of Magic by Terry Pratchett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

One thing is for sure; Terry Pratchett is one of my favorite authors from now on. This must be my first sci-fi/fantasy/comedy novel. First of all, I was floored by the level of imagination used in this book and hence I can only imagine how a person can write more than forty odd novels around the theme of a disc shaped world. A man and the man is Terry Pratchett in this case, has to be maddeningly brilliant to have written what is written in this book. I finished almost 3/4th of the book today and I was not a bit strained. It was so entertaining that I postponed my work for this. With a basic premise of a disc shaped world on top the backs of four elephants on top of a gigantic turtle, this book introduces us to the world of magic and madness with various heard and unheard of fantastical characters popping in from time to time. I'm hooked on the discworld and intend to finish the whole series as well as its various branches. A must read for everyone who loves imagination!
