It was okay. I thought the Apocralypse would be more exciting. I thought there would be zombies, atom bombs, and plagues of locusts. Famine, Pestilence, and War spent the entire thing drunk in a bar. Of course, their horses were stolen but that's no excuse.
And what's with Rincewind getting stuck on the other side of the barrier? Where's the luggage? Do the gods send Coin to bed without supper? There are just too many loose ends in this thing.

A very enjoyable early Discworld! It somehow feels like it was written earlier than Equal Rites, but that could be my faulty memory since it must be over a decade since I read ER. Actually, it felt quite distinct from most of the others because the world and protagonist were permanently altered at the end, not just the usual fun deus ex machina and return to status quo. The chuckle per page ratio is skyhigh, just so many succinct, truthful, and clever observations.
