I liked Sybil's speech about not confusing worth and value. It was articulate about a complex perspective.
When I first read Snuff, I disliked the music part, but on second reading:
I wish that Wilkins and Vimes's upbringings weren't explained so much. Pratchett uses some clever turn of phrase and you know exactly what he means. And then he explains it. Explaining the punchline of a joke ruins the joke and it felt the same here where there'd be a nod and a wink, but then it'd be unnecessarily spelled out.

Still, Snuff isn't a total loss. The setting sets up several pointed jokes about the genteel English countryside and the atrocities it is built on, and the action scenes in the second half of the book are a fun ride. There is some commentary about the responsibilities of bystanders and wilful ignorance that stays relevant, but ultimately Snuff doesn't have the insight that makes Discworld stand out. Its main merit is that it provides context for Raising Steam; casual readers are advised to skip.
Moderate: Racism, Trafficking, and Violence
