Truckers, Terry Pratchet

 

Truckers is an exciting story of gnomes trying to find their world, their star of freedom. There are many characters, and I can’t really classify them, but the most exciting gnome is Angalo, a gnome always eager to try new things. My favourite character, however, is Masklin, seeing as his speeches are so revealing and teaching.

            Masklin also makes parodies of famous speeches, such as Neil Armstrong’s “it’s a small step for a man, but a huge leap for gnomekind!”

            He also says things we can use in our everyday lives: “The way to deal with an impossible task is to chop it down into a number of merely very difficult tasks, and break each one of them into a goup of horribly hard tasks, and break each one of those into tricky jobs, and each one of them…”

            Though this book is typical Terry Pratchet (so worth reading), it may be a bit of a bound if you are used to reading Artemis Fowl or books similar to that.
