Soul Music by Terry Pratchett is the story of a young musician named Imp
who journeys from his small mountain town to the big city of
Ankh-Morpork hoping to make it big. He meets up with a couple other
musicians and they form a band but they have little success. When Imp's
harp is accidentally destroyed, his band mates purchase a strange
looking guitar for him from a mysterious music shop. Imp seems to have
no trouble learning to play this new instrument and it seems to cast a
spell upon him, his band mates, and everyone who hears his music and he
becomes an instant celebrity. Unfortunately there are those that are not
a fan of this new music and will go to great lengths to put a stop to
it.
This book was pretty funny, and as always I loved Pratchett's
use of humorous imagery and phrasing as well as the hilarious
footnotes. I also loved all of the music related puns throughout the
book. I'd definitely recommend this book to fans of Terry Pratchett and
the Discworld series.
