This synopsis is huge! If nobody wants to trim it down, I'll try myself. Didactylos 09:01, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
- That's no synopsis, that's a re-telling! Katzenjammer 20:51, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
What exactly makes this a children/young adult book? Is it simpler in plot than Pratchett's other stuff, or less bawdy, less violent, less clever? It's an interesting approach, combining YA and grownup titles in the same series. Anyone know if it was Pratchett's idea or his publishers'? Boris B 06:59, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
- The writing style is slightly different, the books are shorter and it tends to focus on younger characters instead of the adult characters featured in regular Discworld books. That's what I've noticed, anyway. -- Annie D 07:46, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
Near the ending of the book, I notice that the main character uses a trombone to call out a single rat as a challenge to the rat piper, and 'presses the keys'. A trombone doesn't have keys - artistic license? Perhaps it was a valve trombone. Just commenting. 24.87.23.220 06:40, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Making Terry Pratchett a Featured Article
This is a call to arms to make the Terry Pratchett article a Featured Article. It will greatly help the cause if all the side articles that link from it are of a reasonable standard. Terry Pratchett has around 40 side articles (ie the ones relating to his work) - I don't think they are all expected to be GA (Good Article) standard for TP to become featured, but certain basic elements will be looked at for sure.
A full list of the sub articles is here on the TP talk page: I'm posting this comment on the talk pages of each article on the list. Editors reading may also like to help with the TP article too?
The main issue, especially with smaller articles, is often a finding reasonable amount of citations, and prose can sometimes be a little POV too. Coverage of the topic is probably less important, but of course it needs to be reasonably good. --Matt Lewis (talk) 14:20, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
