Snuff by Terry Pratchett

I enjoyed Snuff, but was a little irritated here and there. Of his two uses of the word shit even the second is pretty dubious. I don't know what age group he thinks he is writing for, but it is rare for him to get sex or swearing right. I didn't think I was going to find a typo, but right at the end, page 375, I found away from the smoke and the grime and the terrible spells which I am fairly certain should be smells.

The Last Hero by Terry Pratchett

A delight, from both Pratchett and Kidby. Not a single foot wrong by either of them and not too long.

Pyramids by Terry Pratchett

It has probably been four years since I last read this. I had forgotten most of the story, or at least enough to recognise but rarely anticipate the plot. I enjoyed, and nothing annoyed.

I shall wear midnight

I Shall Wear Midnight: A Discworld NovelThe third time I have read I Shall Wear Midnight, just long ago for me to have forgotten how the plot works.
The denouement had my eyes watering.
One of Mr P's more scary works I would recommend for the over thirteens.
