Equal Rites

(Discworld Novel 3)

By: Terry Pratchett

Narrated by: Tony Robinson

They say that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, but it is not one half so bad as a lot of ignorance.

There are some situations where the correct response is to display the sort of ignorance which happily and wilfully flies in the face of the facts. In this case, the birth of a baby girl, born a wizard - by mistake. Everybody knows that there's no such thing as a female wizard. But now it's gone and happened, there's nothing much anyone can do about it. Let the battle of the sexes begin...

Critic reviews

'If you are unfamiliar with Pratchett's unique blend of philosophical badinage, you are on the threshold of a mind-expanding opportunity'

'Persistently amusing, good-hearted and shrewd'

'Pratchett keeps getting better and better...It's hard to think of any humorist writing in Britain today who can match him'

Held my interest....mostly

There are at least three major story lines. They are w
easy to follow. The changes in characters are well done and only jarring when they reinforce the storyline. The writing is beautiful. Most of all I hated the character who worked for and deserved it and felt badly for the one that seemed born to be victimized but wins in the end. The story went on for bit too long for me.

At just 2 hours, not a great buy but . . .

I’m a big Discworld fan so it was worth it to me, especially with the witches meeting the wizards.

Excellent performance but abridged text

This lively performance is enjoyable and an excellent accompaniment to a road trip or daily commute. However, it is important to note that this is an abridged version of Pratchett’s book.

ABRIDGED!

performance was good but Audible gave no indication that this version is abridged! I wasted my credit!

be careful

before buying, be aware this is NOT the full version of the book. though it is not advertised as such, it is a heavily abridged version
