All in all, a pretty average Discworld story. But a so-so effort by Pratchett is still pretty good. This is his salute to the Motion Picture Industry, here called "Holy Wood".

My review in 50 words or less...
When the Ankh-Morpork alchemists rediscover octo-cellulose, Holy Wood is revived. But something stirs in the underground, as people start believing in silver-screen fantasies. Lots of movie references, but the main plot takes forever to get going. A good ending, but don't make this your first Discworld read.
