Music With Rocks In...
Review of Soul Music - Terry Pratchett by
CaptainDisaster
Advantages: Great characters, good plot, and so funny it hurts...
Disadvantages: It does help to have read some of the earlier books, too short!
...read Mort, Reaper Man, and Soul Music in that order. (But by then you'll be hooked and obsessive about reading every one of the Discworld books - just like me! Bwahahahahahahaa...)
Soul Music is one of the shorter Discworld novels and is a very quick and enjoyable read. It is very funny though lacks the brilliant satire of "The Truth" and "Going Postal", and the dark atmosphere of "Nightwatch", so don't think you're going to be getting on of the ...

It rocks
Review of Soul Music - Terry Pratchett by
Kaiberie
Advantages: It's Terry Pratchett
Disadvantages: ? I got a bit confused and mildly boerd at points
...So when I saw Soul music, I wanted to read it right away.
That may have been a mild mistake...it's not the strongest of his books, I have to say. Like all the others it rips the **** out of a certain event or person in human history, draws a few parrallels and infers it's own conclusion. Like a normal Terry Pratchett book, the surface humour is brilliant, the mildly cerebral stuff is magical and there are some things that make you stop and think ...

One for musicians
Review of Soul Music - Terry Pratchett by
yhwman
Advantages: Great story
Disadvantages: None musicians may not get all the jokes
Soul Music is a book that not all Pratchett fans will like, you have to be quite heavily into music (Preferably a musician) to get most of the jokes. Luckily I am so I found this book fairly amusing. It’s not Pratchett’s best work but it’s far from his worst. Like most of Pratchett’s books, it’s full of amusing little touches, such as the most popular music style in the book “Music with Rocks in it”. A lot of the regular characters don’t play a huge ...

Rock and Roll Comes to the Discworld
Review of Soul Music - Terry Pratchett by
calathea
Advantages: Great fun spotting the music references, some great characters
Disadvantages: none
...to the excellent Moving Pictures, Soul Music tells what happens when Rock and Roll (or Music with Rocks In) arrives on the Discworld.
The main character is Buddy (real name Imp y Cylen meaning Bud of the Holly), a druid with a quiff and rather good guitar bought from a strange shop. Buddy wants to make music and soon teams up with Glod Glodsson (a dwarf) and Cliff (a troll) and forms a band. With management from Cut Me Own Throat Dibbler they cannot ...

Not great, but still enjoyable
Review of Soul Music - Terry Pratchett by
Fady
Advantages: It's very funny
Disadvantages: Lacks something
I love Terry Pratchett's stuff, yet I have to say that 'Soul Music' is certainly not my favourite Discworld Novel. The idea behind the book is brilliant, the characters are good, the resolution is fine, yet there's something wich does not quite work, something which I really cannot put my finger on.
The book begins with the formation of the 'Band With Rocks In', as the elf like Imp y Celyn (Buddy of the Holly), Glod and a troll who eventually ...

My favourite T.P. novel
Review of Soul Music - Terry Pratchett by
WrexhamAFC
Advantages: Amazing characters - he creates vivid images
Disadvantages: None
Terry Pratchett is my favourite author – his Discworld novels are amazing – he creates such a vivid world – that you can navigate your way through it, when reading the book.
What makes the books are the characters, they are so realistic – and they are all real types of people. TP observes amazing miniscule parts of human nature – and then enters them into his books – with hilarious consequences.
The best character is death, who always speaks ...

Review of Soul Music - Terry Pratchett by
naryan1
Advantages:
Disadvantages:
This has to be by far the best terry pratchett novel I have ever read, god I love the film version, And just like Terry, I will say this…. I DON’T CARE HOW YOU DO IT JUST GET ME THE ALBUM FOR THIS TV SHOW. The music is by far the definitive instrument in the show grip over you, allowing you to recognise certain styles of music on here, but never quite getting the feel that they totally ripped off a classic tune. All of the characters in themselves ...
