Thirteen-year-old Eric and Rincewind the wizard have many adventures trying to escape from the equally horrifying and ludicrous beings and places of the magical Dungeon Dimension.

While still a Discworld novel and still an enjoyable read, Eric has never been one of my favorites. It does, however, have one or two excellent points to make about the world and its people and how what we wish for isn't always what we'll get.
I had already read this in German, decades ago, but this book will have the honour of being the first Pterry book I’m going to read in its native (and hopefully original) English.
