I dont think Discworld is working for me.
I thought I would enjoy this books as quick break between my big fantasies but they are definitely not doing their job
Even tho they are small they are not able to hold my interest.
I love the writing style and social commentary especially social commentary but the plot is just so wild and inconsistent I think I will probably give another a try over audio if I feel like it

I did enjoy this book. I have to say, compared to the last 6 I've read, this isn't high on the list. I do like it, there are simply other books I feel are better.
Terry Pratchett is such a genius and this story really puts that genius on display. I love the mathematical camels and they way he plays with Egyptian mythology and gods is wonderful. His work with the pyramids was so funny. I mean he lambasts a whole ancient religion that's gone now. I love how he associates such random things together. His writing is a delight.
Well, now we know all about the assassins guild, or something about them and we have been to the little river valley on the disc that is the home of the ancient pyramids.
He uses some embalmers and pyramid builders as characters and all of them just have me in stitches. I love how he shows we do things not really knowing why, but because it's simply how it's done. He really puts all of humanities foibles on display in his stories. We are funny creatures.
I would love to have a wit like Terry's, what a gifted mind. Most of us must be like simpletons to him. Who knows.
I thought this was a fun book and I did enjoy the story and the Egyptian culture he brought out. I can't say it's my favorite book at this point. I hear most people love Guards Guards and that one is up next. I look forward to it next month.

Terry pratchett is a master of absurdism!! The attitude that you feel just from the narrator is like nothing else, and I find it immensely enjoyable! This was a great read, and a fun way to play with the absurd side of religion, especially ancient ones. I would suggest this to anyone who enjoys a sci fi with really extravagant works building, but also wants humor and positive escapism in their books!
