I read these books to my son. He enjoyed them, and I like them, especially Johnny and the Dead. I did not enjoy these books as much as the Discworld series, and I definitely think they are aimed at a younger audience than I fall into. (

My dad gifted this to me when I was young and it started me on a life long happy trek with Mr. Pratchett. I enjoyed each of them as a child and as an adult and have passed them on to my own kids with glee. As a kid there weren't a lot of books that I could read which gave insight into human nature and such. They're fun and maybe a little light for adults but no budding sci-fi fan should miss out on this series. (

When I first read this trilogy (book club edition) I thought "what an odd book and what an odd writer!" Little did I know that I would fall in love with Terry Pratchett via the Discworld series and it wasn't until much later that I made the connection (doh!). I consider this "early Terry Pratchett" though the last books overlap with the Discworld mythology. In any case, I consider the Discworld series to be "uproariously funny," whereas these I would call "sweetly funny." (

This is definitely not the Discworld. So, setting aside my extreme prejudice that the Discworld is the best thing to happen to literature, I must admit The Johnny Maxwell trilogy is a great series for kids. My son loves the stories. I find them a bit on the dry side, but still very entertaining. (

This children's trilogy is as hilarious and satirical as only Pratchett can be. It can also get a bit painful at times, since the premise of the plot(s) is that Johnny, a rather drab but conscientous British boy, must overcome the horrible-ness of the adult world in order to do the right thing. (
