In Memory is a wonderful collection of stories in tribute to the late Sir Terry Pratchett. The running theme throughout the anthology is memory with each author crafting their own unique spin on it.
This is a strong anthology with seventeen enjoyable stories providing the reader with a rollercoaster of emotions: I laughed, I was shocked, I was impressed and I was moved.
I think fans of Terry Pratchett around the world will thoroughly enjoy these stories and with all proceeds going to Alzheimer's Research UK, it's an extremely worthy tribute to a much-missed Terry.
So, my first thoughts when I saw the cover was confused because PFFT, I thought it was a YA book and the cover didn't strike me as YA, but anywho this book sounds really intriguing with the whole fact that a bunch of authors combined their works, adding the own spins to it as a tribute. Super cool!♡
ReplyDeleteAhh I know I made a bit of an exception as this is for a good cause but the stories are suitable for YA!
DeleteI think it's a cool idea for a tribute!
I like the sound of this even though I'm not familiar with Terry, shame on me. I know. I'll have to Google this one, and Terry of course.
ReplyDeleteI'm not overly familiar yet either, one of those authors I always mean to read! I enjoyed this tribute nonetheless though :)
