El inicio de una elocuente saga donde el mundo lo compartimos, sin saberlo, con pequeños gnomos que viven 10 veces más rápido sus vidas... o nosotros las vivimos 10 veces más lenta que ellos... sólo Arnold Bros. (fund 1905) sabe jajaja (no pude evitarlo). Todo empieza al costado de una ruta, cerca de un restaurant de ruta, donde vive un par de gnomos (Masklin, Grimma, Torrit y Morkie) que un día se verán forzados a dejar su hogar en busca de un mejor lugar, y así terminarán en una gran tienda donde encontrarán otros gnomos, los cuales viven debajo del piso de cada piso (valga la redundancia) de la tienda. Estos gnomos no creen que haya vida para los gnomos fuera de esa tienda, y veneran a un tal Arnold Bros. (fund 1905). Pero las cosas se complicarán cuando La Cosa, una reliquia que portan y protegen los gnomos del exterior, hable. Muy recomendable.

This was more than just a great children's book. This was a witty, humorous book that is amazingly fun for adults to read. This is my first Terry Pratchett novel and I have fallen in love with his writing style. There are jokes around every corner! Moreover, Pratchett makes us get invested into the world he has created. Discworld was already on my to-read pile, but I'm definitely looking forward to picking it up having read this one. But first things first: Diggers: The Second Book of the Nomes.
