Story4.5 out of 5 stars 85
Somewhere on the frontier between thought and reality exists the Discworld, a parallel time and place that might sound and smell very much like our own, but which looks completely different. Particularly as it’s carried though space on the back of a giant turtle (sex unknown). It plays by different rules. But then, some things are the same everywhere. The Disc’s very existence is about to be threatened by a strange new blight: the world’s first tourist, upon whose survival rests the peace and prosperity of the land.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 7
Somewhere on the frontier between thought and reality exists the Discworld, a parallel time and place that might sound and smell very much like our own, but that looks completely different. It plays by different rules. Certainly it refuses to succumb to the quaint notion that universes are ruled by pure logic and the harmony of numbers. But just because the Disc is different doesn't mean that some things don't stay the same.

Story5 out of 5 stars 10
At six years old, Terry was told by his headteacher that he would never amount to anything. He spent the rest of his life proving that teacher wrong. At 66, Terry had lived a life full of achievements: becoming one of the UK's best-selling writers, winning the Carnegie Medal and being awarded a knighthood for services to literature. Following his untimely death from Alzheimer's disease, the mantle of completing Terry's memoir was passed to Rob Wilkins, his former assistant, friend and now head of the author's literary estate.

Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
The audiobook of Wyrd Sisters is narrated by Indira Varma (Game of Thrones; Luther; This Way Up). BAFTA and Golden Globe award-winning actor Bill Nighy (Love Actually; Pirates of the Caribbean; Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) reads the footnotes, and Peter Serafinowicz (Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace; Shaun of the Dead) stars as the voice of Death. Featuring a new theme tune composed by James Hannigan.
'Destiny is important, see, but people go wrong when they think it controls them. It's the other way around.'
Three witches gathered on a lonely heath. A king cruelly murdered, his throne usurped by his ambitious cousin. A child heir and the royal crown, both missing.
Witches don't have these kinds of leadership problems themselves - in fact, they don't have leaders.
Granny Weatherwax is the most highly regarded of the leaders they don't have. But even she finds that meddling in royal politics is a lot more complicated than certain playwrights would have you believe. Particularly when the blood on your hands just won't wash off....
With an afterword by Joanne Harris.
Wyrd Sisters is the second book in the Witches series, but you can listen to the Discworld novels in any order.
The first book in the Discworld series – The Colour of Magic – was published in 1983. Some elements of the Discworld universe may reflect this.
What the critics say
"Pratchett's Discworld books have made millions of people happy." (Guardian)
"I love Terry Pratchett." (Caitlin Moran)

Brilliantly funny and fun!
Brilliantly funny and fun! Love Pratchett’s work. Satire with kindness. Compassion for our human idiocy yet doesn’t miss a beat.

Wickedly smart wit
What if Macbeth was a comedy from the perspective of the witches? There’s a lot more to this story than just that, but that’s the foundation and it’s ingenious!

Fabulous!
Indira Varma is brilliant at capturing the voices of Terry Pratchett's characters. Death (Peter Seraphinowicz) and Bill Nighy are icing on the cake.

The best audio version yet!
In short, a brilliant reading, now I'm thirsty for the rest of the series. Indira Varma read this, one of my top 5 favourite Discworld novels, beautifully. I can only say that usually I rarely want to re-listen to a book more than once a year, but I will be listening to this one again on a frequent basis. Terry would be thrilled with this latest treatment of his work. In my very humble opinion I think is worthy of him.

Absolutely perfect new reading
I am SO happy with these new recordings of the Discworld novels. The technical quality is superb, and Indira Varma was born to read these novels. They're the definitive recordings for me. Absolutely fantastic. (And the text itself is of course as wonderful as it's always been... just so nice to hear a recording that does it justice.)
Thanks Penguin, thanks Indira, thanks absolutely everyone involved in this project.

one of my new favorite books
Wyrd sisters is not only the funniest Discworld book I've read so far, it is also the one that has left me with the most to think about now that I've finished it. I look forward to re reading it soon
