- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5More of the same - this book is set over the same period as Diggers, and ends about the same time as the two groups rejoin. Masklin gets his brain stretched even more - enough, even, to understand what Grimma was talking about. The thing with the frogs was rather silly, and heavy-handed (in case the _reader_ couldn't figure out what Grimma was talking about), but not terrible. ~**mipmip**~. I did like that it wasn't Masklin who started thinking about the other nomes; the other two stepped up while he was concentrating on other things (and Things). Overall, mildly enjoyable, though I doubt I'll bother to reread the series.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I love these books so much and have reread them so many times, it is hard to write a review of them.These books tell the story of the Nomes. When we first meet them, they are living in the mud near a motorway service station. By the end of the book, they have returned to their home in the stars. The journey between the two is a rollicking amusing tale of never giving up, the troubles of trying to get people to work together, wrestling with faith and discovering the world is much bigger than the Gods of your youth, but that the wisdom of the ancestors may still contain deep truths. There are frogs who spend their whole lives in one flower. But some frogs, somewhere, choose to look over the rim...(Wings is the one where they go to Florida and steal the space shuttle.)
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The 'nomes' are still trying to find home in the final installment of the Bromeliad Trilogy (not related to Discworld). Plenty of action, humor, and even food for thought - this was a satisfying conclusion.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book was a nice and funny ending to this trilogy.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I've never read any M/M erotica before, but I have to say...YAY!!! I truly enjoyed this. The characters were richly developed, and the story line was engaging. I'm glad I read this one, and look forward to further tales by this author.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I enjoyed this installment in The Bromeliad Trilogy as much as I did the other two, though I have to say nothing beats the first book! Still, it was another fun and exciting ride with the fascinating Nomes. I was a bit sad to see the book end though; I crave to read about more Nomish adventures!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is the last book of the Bromeliad trilogy, written for children. In this book, Masklin and two other nomes make their way to Florida so that their computer can communicate with a space shuttle...
Very well written, with some humour and lots of wry observations of life, typical of Pratchett. Most enjoyable, and a great end to the trilogy. Much best to have read the other two books (Truckers and Diggers) first as it would not make much sense without them. suitable to read to children from the age of about six or seven, or for older children or teens (or, indeed, adults). - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Whimsical end to a fantastic tale, I could only wish it would carry on with more adventures from the 4 inch tall Nomes.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5After reading the Ramona books and Narnia together, by youngest son and I decided to read these. They were ok... but then he didn't want to have our special reading time together anymore... :(
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Time to leave the flower.
