wfzimmerman’s review: “I was absolutely thrilled when this arrived the evening before I was leaving on a three-day business trip. What perfect timing! What a splendid antidote to airport boredom! It did the job, too, as my outbound trip was terrific. I finished reading the book in the hotel room the first night. Unfortunately, I didn’t have any other new Pratchetts to read on the flight home, which was horrendous with a two-hour runway delay followed by a turbulent flight.
The second in the Moist von Lipwig series is very good Pratchett, perhaps not quite his best but still very enjoyable. The protagonists’ gf Adora Belle spends too much time off-screen, and the villain is too delusional to be quite as frightening as possible.
Must reading for Pratchett fans, but not the book to start with.”
