Produktbeschreibungen
Amazon.co.uk
The plot is a version of an earlier Discworld novel, Lords and Ladies, with the predatory elves of that novel being replaced here by suave and deadly vampires, and the tiny kingdom of Lancre being defended by its witches. But plot is the least of Pratchett's appeal, and Carpe Jugulum is loaded with marvellous characters (not least the witches themselves, about whom we learn a deal more here), comic touches and scenes of genius, and even some of the renowned down-to-earth Pratchett wisdom (here about the inner ethical conflicts we all face, and the wrongness of treating people as things). Pratchett's vampires are elegant Bela Lugosi types, and they come up against an unlikely but engaging alliance of witches, blue-skinned pixies like Rob Roy Smurfs, a doubting priest with a boil on his face and a magical house-sized Phoenix in a seamless, completely absorbing and feel-good-about-the-universe mixture. Highly recommended. --Adam Roberts

Kundenrezensionen
_Carpe Jugulum_, like all the other Discworld novels, is not simply straight-forward fantasy, or just an amusing read. It's difficult to review a Discworld novel because they manage to be both amazingly funny and poignant at the same time. There are some truly beautiful moments in this book, and I cried with laughter more than once on reading it.
If you enjoy humorous fantasy, you'll never find anything as remotely funny as Pratchett. If you're tired of having your intelligence insulted by the usual, tired fantasy plot devices and characters and don't mind thinking, I heartily suggest this book and all the other Discworld series.
The characters are as funny as ever: Magrat the modern mother and Mightily Oats the newly-qualified priest of Om manage to take on a life beyond the stereotypes, and Agnes/Perdita, the fat girl and her inner thin girl, is a treat. Then there's the modern vampires: staying up until gone noon, growing their hair short and pretending to be accountants.
But somehow, in spite of them, the story drags.
If, like me, you're a die-hard Pratchett fan, you'll probably consider the book worth its price anyway. The background on the Omnian church will be fascinating to anyone who enjoyed Small Gods, and the development in the characters of the witches is great to read. But anyone who's new to the Discworld will probably find Soul Music a much more enjoyable read. (Dies ist eine Amazon.de an der Uni-Studentenrezension.)

The story line required a villain. The main offense of the head vampire was lack of respect for tradition. Lesen Sie weiter...
