I don’t like it that I gave it 3 stars. But it’s just that... In comparison of his other books, it was 3 stars but, But. Oh god I think of “the bastard” doing all the equations how I can say it’s 3 stars? I mean, the power of pyramids and the crazy ass fucking genius he is... cannot be explained in mere words. I don’t have that vocabulary nor the imagination of Terry Pratchett. He is, ONE OF A KIND. When I finish one of his book, I am in wonder. He is a wonder. He has magic in him. His words, thinking, imagination, is magic.
How can one explain a book like this. It’s next to impossible. When a book contains things like “Camels have a very democratic approach to the human race. They hate every member of it, without making any distinction for rank or creed”. All you do is smile, nod in agreement because you understand where the camels come from but explain to a person who never read Pratchett is near impossible. Or when he writes stuff like “How interesting. I wonder what’s causing it? Let V equal 3. Let Tau equal Chi/4, cudcudcud let Kappa/y be an Evil- Smelling- Bugger” differential tensor domain with four imaginary spin coefficients” (this was You Bastard(camel) thinking)
When a god thinks “bloody hell, he thought. I really am a god. This could be very embarrassing” fuck it. He deserves 5 stars just for his writing. I can’t. Just not possible to give anything less than 4.
