I remember reading this when I was younger, but I can't believe how much I had forgotten about it! Terry Pratchett is insightful as always, with some particularly astute observations about the way people think and their beliefs. I'm so glad I picked this up again

It's been a while since I read a book of this genre and I quite enjoyed it. It was a very funny book that somehow still had a sort of depth that I didn't expect.
I liked the bit about the frogs and bromeliads so much and also the takes on faith and world perception and all that.

What an incredibly insightful man Terry Pratchett was. The subtle commentary on human faith, self importance and impact is done in an hysterically funny way that had me laughing every couple of sentences. If this isn’t enough to convince people to read more I don’t know what would be- I will certainly be reading more of his books.

--tiny people try to make their way in a big world.
I re-read the first book in the series, then went on to finish the other three. I have to say I liked the first one best. In Truckers, the world-building, themes, and plot came together in a way they didn't manage to in either Diggers and Wings. The places were the series shines are about what people are like. The way they belief what they would prefer to be true. The need to coordinate, and how hard that is to do.
