Even though sometimes I got bored, I loved it.

Technically this is a children's book, but it has some very big, dark, themes - death, civilisation, what makes a society. It didn't resonate with me as much as the other books, possibly because I was in the mood for some classic Discworld. This is classic Pratchett, sly, referential and ultimately full of affection for the foibles of his characters, who are, after all, a reflection of us all.
