Finished: The Color of Magic - Terry Pratchett

Just wrapped up this novel about 15 minutes ago - and it was definitely a good one, and nothing like I expected. For some reason I had this image of heavy political satyr and wacked-out-across-the-pond type humor going in to this, and it wasn't a novel entirely comprised of that (although satyr and humor are definitely in there).

Instead, it was a nicely done fantasy novel that takes place in a purposefully ridiculous reality with a meandering storyline in the style of Alice in Wonderland where the only thing consistent is the charm of the world and the characters. *Although I didn't particularly care for Alice in Wonderland, it makes a valid comparison here.*

I would recommend this to any fantasy reader who is looking for a "light" book to read, and I'll definitely be picking up the next one in the series.
