Produktbeschreibungen
Amazon.co.uk
There are strange goings-on at the Opera House in Ankh-Morpork. A ghost in a white mask is murdering, well, quite a lot of people, and two witches (it really isn't wise to call them "meddling, interfering old baggages"), or perhaps three, take a hand in unravelling the mystery. Fans of the popular Discworld series will be happy to see some old friends again in Maskerade, the 18th novel in the series.

I liked this book, but can see where everyone might not. First off the basic plot is that Perdita X Nitt (nee Agnes Nitt) Has decided to go to the big city to seek her fortune as a singer. She has a singular talent, however of being able to accompany herself. She auditions at the Opera House in Ankh Morpork and is hired along with the beautiful Christine who can sing only passably but has certain other assets (as does her father - a benefactor of the opera) which the new owner find pleasant to comtemplate.
In the meantime Nanny Ogg and Granny Weatherwax have decided they need a 3rd witch and Agnes would do. The decide to go to the city to just "check up" on her. They become embroiled in the "ghost of the Opera" legend and succeed in thwarting an evil plot while having a great deal of fun with Nanny Ogg's hard earned money. Just remember it ends like most opera.
I liked this novel, but then I love opera. I also have seen almost every variation of the Phantom of the Opera ever made (except the musical). The problem is that for some of the humor, the reader must have some knowledge of Opera and it's performers to understand the parody. While I love it, I understand that it is not for everyone. There is enough humor for the non afficiando not everyone will neccesarily find it hilarious.

Format:Taschenbuch
This is truly one of the best Discworld books I've ever read. It's funny, it's intresting, and it's a very good satire on "The Phantom of the Opera". However, it's on the thin line between the really good discworld books (Intresting Times, Feet of Clay), and the excellent books (Carpe Jugulum, Moving Pictures)...
It's hard to pinpoint exactly what's missing here. That's why it's on the line (I would've given it 4.5 stars if I could...). It's extremely funny, but not as funny as Mort... It's ideas are quite deep, but don't run as deep as Carpe Jugulum's... So, in the end, it's not the greatest Discworld book, but if I would've made a 'top five list', it would've certainly be one of them...

I was shocked by the previous review. Too much about the witches and not enough Phantom? There can NEVER be too much about the witches, they are some of the greatest characters ever, on or off the Disc. It is proper and fitting that the Phantom should take a backseat to the formidable Granny and Nanny, I'm sure they wouldn't have it any other way.

Witty and funny detective story revolving around the witches
This book is a parody of the phantom of the Opera, as has been told already by other readers. I haven't seen the witches being involved in a detective-story in any other book,... Lesen Sie weiter...

Hilarious spoof on classic story
This is one of Terry Pratchett's best books with the lovable characters from the Discworld series. Back for another round of side-splitting comedy is Nanny Ogg and Granny... Lesen Sie weiter...

On fire!
I haven't read all of Prachett's books (though I intend to), but this is by far my favorite! Before you read, decide what you would bring with you out of your house if it was on... Lesen Sie weiter...

My favorite Terry Pretchett
I loved it. This was the 3rd book I read with the witches in it. I read this one before reading Lords and Ladies, so this was my first exposure to Agnes. Agnes is wonderful. Lesen Sie weiter...

The Story's not as catchy as its cover...
There's Witches, Death, Greebo, and the wizards of the Unseen University. It's a slapstick off of The Phantom of the Opera that mostly everybody should understand and appreciate. Lesen Sie weiter...

Witty, sharp and intelligent!
Pratchett does it again! He has never let me down, and always writes books of the highest quality!
