Interesting, but not anywhere as good as his other Disc World books, and I've read them all, plus many others he wrote. But then Mr. Pratchett was experiencing medical problems. Still, I feel his books are a great gift to this reader and the world.

I really loved this. It wasn't as laugh out loud funny as the other Moist books have been, but it was very enjoyable. I love how even technological achievements like the introduction of the steam engine train to Discworld take on a slight supernatural bent. Add in the smacking down of religious extremists and I'm a happy reader.
