Oh, yes, I had so much fun. I liked the way Ancient Egypt (and Ancient Greece) were twisted and turned, exaggerated, laughed at. Let’s not forget the puns, either. “Heir today, gone tomorrow” had me guffawing in a slightly undignified way :)
When you peel off the lovely layer of hilarity, Terry Pratchett (as usual) has a lot to say about the nature of religion and belief, politics, power structures, traditions etc.
P.S. I have now read eight Discworld novels, and it is nice to know that there are still many books left to read J
