This one is my least favorite of the trilogy, but then I'm usually pretty fussy about time travel. These books have been slower than I'd hoped, and with the added frustration of the character having a new super power every book, this one definitely wasn't my cup of tea. Generally speaking, time travel is a complicated thing. To have a woman with dementia using trash bags full of time in a stolen Tesco's parking lot with a feral cat named Guilty was a step too far for me, I think.

It was confusing at times and ended too quick, might've been because it was translated...

Not my fave, but a fun jaunt with Johnny and his mates all the same.

You've got to laugh at a book that has 4 "token" boys and pokes fun at all the cliches of kid's time travel/adventure stories. Good fun.

I thinking reading the first books would have been better for my reading experience but Terry Pratchett had a mind like no other and it’s fun to see one of his takes on time travel
