DNF.

Lacks a compelling plot, a bit too light for my liking.

Also the language is a bit archaic. It disturbed the flow for me.

Quite funny though, can't complain about the style.

I enjoyed this one much more than Guards! Guards!, probably because the plot is even more bizarre.

Loved the wit :-)) So sharp!
But my favorite is still Small Gods. It was more profound and touching in my opinion.
I would love to read the other books in the Death series.

I thought this was a pretty amusing book, it was quite fast paced although I think certain aspects of it could have used a bit more set up, but then maybe that would have detracted from it overall. Some poignant moments, one or two emotional ones. Solid book.

DID NOT FINISH: 12%

DNF; the style of writing with sentences as long as paragraphs are not my personal thing. Not even in my mother tongue.
