cj_jones 's review for:

Pyramids by Terry Pratchett
3.0

I'm late to the party, but have finally read and finished a book that is totally by Terry Pratchett. It was enjoyable--sort of a Douglas Adams lite. I think one of the reasons it feels toned down is that everything in DiscWorld seems to be an analogue for something in our world. (I'm not entirely certain why the Egypt analogue was named after a Jelly Baby.) That gives things a little distance. With the HitchHiker books, Arthur was very firmly rooted in the banality of our own familiar world, and served as a more effective foil for the wacky folks he met.
There seems to be some debate over which one I should read next--I'll let you know when I find out.
