Review of 'The Science of Discworld'
The Science of Discworld by Terry Pratchett, Jack Cohen, and Ian Stewart
A strange mixture of science fact and a light Discworld story. The wizards of the Unseen University create a “pocket universe” and as we are guided through the story each alternating chapter of the book focuses in on some aspect of what has been discussed in regards to real science. Some of the science chapters are a bit heavy and I found the book, as a whole, quite difficult to read. Definitely NOT like any of Mr. Pratchett's other works but interesting nonetheless.
Rating: “Not great, but not the worse”
Genre: Fantasy
