This is the first discworld book I've read, & was definitely a strong introduction. I've read a couple of other books by Terry Pratchett so already knew I'd probably enjoy his writing style. 
This had some humour, was an interesting storyline, but also touched on some deeper quite philosophical questions. 
I'm now off to properly start on the series. Hello the colour of magic, I'll see you soon.

I started ready this book, because it was suggested as a nice starting point for Discworld. I must say, I'm disappointed that it didn't get me very excited. The book is funny and has some great commentary on religion. But I just felt like there was something missing, a bit more structure in the writing or in the story it self would have been nice, as it currently felt more like a fever dream.

It's not bad and I might give Terry Pratchett another try once, maybe the moment just wasn't right for me.
