The World of Poo

De: Terry Pratchett

Narrado por: Helen Atkinson-Wood

From Snuff: "Vimes' prompt arrival got a nod of approval from Sybil, who gingerly handed him a new book to read to Young Sam. Vimes looked at the cover. The title was The World of Poo.

When his wife was out of eyeshot he carefully leafed through it. Well, okay, you had to accept that the world had moved on and these days fairy stories were probably not going to be about twinkly little things with wings. As he turned page after page, it dawned on him that whoever had written this book, they certainly knew what would make kids like Young Sam laugh until they were nearly sick. The bit about sailing down the river almost made him smile.

But interspersed with the scatology was actually quite interesting stuff about septic tanks and dunnakin divers and gongfermors and how dog muck helped make the very best leather, and other things that you never thought you would need to know, but once heard somehow lodged in your mind."

It's just a story about a boy who collects poo.

There are some clever bits in the beginning, some nice observations about the excrements from all of us, but once the story gets going there's really not much story. It really is just about a boy going around collecting poo and meeting people involved in related industries. But it's short and pleasant.
