Raising Steam by Terry Pratchett

5.0

Now, I've been a huge Terry Pratchett fan for (scary fact this) more than half of my life, but in the last five years, I've fallen out of favour with him and have read very few books. I feel bad about it, but sadly, I just didn't want to read any of the books. I had high hopes that Raising Steam would make me forget all my grumpiness and enjoy the wonderful humour and quirky characters of Discword all over again. Sadly, it didn't quite do that, but only because my favourite characters only made fleeting appearances - Death and Ridcully to name but the two I can remember. The story was good and moved along at (sorry I can't put in a train pun) good speed but it was an effort in places to keep reading. However, I'm going to work my way backwards and read some of the others in the series that I've missed, so I must have enjoyed it!
