Truckers

The First Book of the Nomes

De: Terry Pratchett, Mark Beech

Narrado por: Stephen Briggs

Brought to you by Penguin.

Imagine that all around you, hidden from sight, there are thousands of tiny people.
They are four inches tall, brave, stubborn and resourceful.
They are the nomes.

The nomes in this story live under the floorboards of a large Department Store and have never been Outside. In fact, they don't even believe in Outside. But new nomes arrive, from - where else? - and they bring with them terrifying news: the Store is closing down and Everything Must Go . . .

The fantastically funny first book of the nomes, from the author of the bestselling Discworld series.

Reseñas de la Crítica

A brilliant adventure story that'll make you laugh out loud

Witty, funny, wise and altogether delightful

A world of complete and absorbing fantasy

Brilliant pratchett

As always, Terry Pratchett weaves an engaging story to delight readers of all ages.

So Clever

Bargains Galore, what a fun, creative, and yet human story. Another home run from Pratchett and narration triumph by Briggs.

Great fun w/an edge - classic Pratchett

As a long-time Discworld fan, I hesitated for years over whether to try Pratchett's "younger" books. I shouldn't have! They're just as funny, perhaps a slightly lighter and certainly a quicker read, but well worth the time and credits. (If reading to or with kids I can imagine kids and adults both getting a great laugh out of them, just probably preferring slightly different jokes!) Since TP is apparently unable to write anything without a philosophical/satirical edge, the trilogy touches on religion, the psychology of leadership and group behavior, xenophobia, consumerism and more.

Unlike another reviewer, I think Briggs did a brilliant job reading this, with funny and appropriate voices. I especially enjoyed the way he intoned the selections from The Book of Nome at the start of each chapter.

Pratchett

loved the book, stephen briggs is amazing as usual. Sir Pratchett was literally a big figure in my life via his books.

Great Pratchett as always!

I Listened to this book while on a trip with my 8 year old son. We both greatly enjoyed it. I have introduced him to some of the Diskworld pantheon but a lot of the content goes over his head. The books in this series are short enough to keep his attention and have really helped increase his vocabulary. I have been reading and listening to Terry Pratchett books since I was a teenager and have always loved his books. I didn't buy this series until now because they were so short, but I am glad that I did because they were a great listen on our trip, and we almost finished all three books!

Dipping my toe into Pratchett.

This was a phenomenal piece. Pratchett’s skill for language, of which I’ve seen exerts for years, is on display here. None culture is a mirror to our own. The narrator gives a great show with voices for the majority of characters. Dorcus is my favorite.

Awesome!!!

Would you consider the audio edition of Truckers to be better than the print version?

We have a rule in our house: Read it first the, if you like the story, get it on audio book. There is something about someone else reading the book that makes you notice things you missed when you read the book.

What does Stephen Briggs bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Stephen Briggs makes the story come to life.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes

Truckers..the bromediade trilogy

This was great...lots of little gnomes having to move and the ingenuity to do it. Loved it

Stephen's on point as always!

could almost wonder if Mr Briggs spent time in the clergy! another excellent reading of another excellent story! on to the next one!

Certainly

Imaginative (?reality?) tale of Nomes from the countryside moving to the city and THE STORE!!
Clash/ contrast of generations and cultures with eventually agree and cooperation
