I regret it because I love the characters and the story is really nice. The book is sometimes funny and I readily acknowledge that there is a slight improvement in writing, from the 1st tome but it remains that Terry Pratchett is really too much and some passages are incomprehensible for me. We must take it several times to follow his relentless attempts to add comic in every sentence (which he does not succeed, in my opinion).
In the end, when he actually too, there is more history, everything becomes completely crazy, we do not know how the characters got there, what art what they do, what their purpose is. I wonder if the author knows himself? I have the impression that he writes until the effect of LSD blotter he swallowed dissipates and then puts some consistency in its history. The concern is that only 4 pages later, he took an LSD blotter. It's almost perpetual motion.
Yet it was a good start. As we left our friends Rincewind at the end of volume one, right clifhanger since he had to jump into the void from the edge of the world record, we find him in the middle of a forest, after the seven spells have decided distort time to prevent his death. This is the eight spells must always be pronounced together and then will start a new adventure for our hero, with his bulky tourist Twoflower and male to two hundred feet. Everything starts well, our two friends trying to find a way out of this forest while great magicians attempt, themselves, to get their hands on Rincewind. The adventure is consistent for 50 pages and then .... it's LSD blotter takes over.
