I’ve been reading Moving Pictures on and off for two months, but finally got myself together and finished it today. Moving Pictures is about how evil monsters from the Dungeon Dimension try to get a threshold in our dimension by blurring the line between reality and fiction through the idea of movies in the world of Discworld. The idea of movies makes a stump through Anhk-Morpork as the alchemists discover how to make “moving pictures” and “Cut-me-own Throat” Dibbler discovers how to be a movie bigshot producer and the main characters Victor and Ginger find out that they want to be stars. Some things that caught my interest about the book, were Detritus the troll since he later becomes one of my favorite City Watchmen and the death of Gaspod the dogs human soul. All in all it was a good read but as noted by the lack of incentive to finish it the story line doesn’t really capture you.
Rating: 3/5

The ninth “Discworld” novel. The alchemists of the Discworld have discovered the magic of the silver screen, and the inhabitants of Ankh-Morpork achieve stardom as the cameras roll. But what is the dark secret of Holy Wood hill? It’s up to Victor Tugelbend and Theda Withel to find out.
