A good, fun follow-up to TRUCKERS. Essentially, this trilogy is the Terry Pratchett version of THE BORROWERS, told in his own inimitable style (and, of course, with plenty of humour along the way).Im not the ideal target market for this book - unlike the Discworld novels, its clearly aimed at younger readers - but nevertheless its a quirky and exceptionally fast-paced read. I had it polished off after only a couple of sessions.The story picks directly up from DIGGERS and, as far as I can tell, the events of this sequel occur concurrently with the events from the third book in the trilogy, WINGS. Pratchett achieves this by splitting up his protagonists, sending half one way and the other half another.Lots of winks and nods and wordplay, just as youd expect from the author. The reference to GULLIVERS TRAVELS with the security guard is well achieved, and the bits involving vehicles are thrilling. A great climax, too, which takes the story to another level. Diggers (Bromeliad Trilogy, #2) by Terry Pratchett
