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

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.
