A review by rincewail
Eric by Terry Pratchett
4.0
4/5
I liked this one more than I thought I would! I mean who would think that a satirical tale on the retelling of the tale of Faust would be a compelling read? Especially when the demon is swapped with the most incompetent wizard on the Disc and the Faust in this story is a 13-year-old pre-pubescent child prone to saying "Avaunt"! Hilarity ensues across time and space when Rince wind is summoned, with The Luggage in close pursuit. Even the minor characters are full of life. The parrot with the limited wossname, words thingy, so it keeps on saying wossname again and again! 3 wishes are asked, 3 wishes are granted but the intent is to grant them in a way that is right technically but still cause the wisher a lot of pain. But in a surprising twist, the book ends on a very happy note! With the offending as well as offended parties all happy!
Don't skip this book with Rincewind!
