I like Pratchett (hell, I have every single Discworld book), but some of his books are too much "there's some evil thing that I'm not going to explicitly mention until the main character in the end does something that I'm also not going to really describe and then it's finished." I think Hogfather was one of those; not really having a plot, but just people running around to stop Something Evil. Or maybe it's just me not understanding everything because English is still not my primary language. I should really start reading his latest book though, I've had it for months.

Dammit, another Discworld book means they won't all fit anymore on one row of my bookcase. (The main-line DW books, Tiffany's adventures and pals are living on another row already.)

GhostDog posted:Not quite poo poo, but certainly pretty low on my list. The two plots felt half-assed and didn't mesh together at all. Nutt would have been a better fit for the watch environment, and the soccer plot should've been a standalone "sports satire" book. I'm also not a big fan. It felt a bit all over the place, a bit disjointed. I think there were some good jokes, but overall it was pretty 'meh'.

Buy Snuff on Kindle or buy a physical copy to keep my collection complete. Decisions, decisions... Another advantage of the physical copy is the footnotes, which I really don't like on Kindle.

This may be a stupid idea, but can't someone just mail his publisher and remind them that they should do a better job of editing? Maybe they just don't realize there's a problem.

AlphaDog posted:Just finished Dodger. I really liked it. The last paragraph was awesome. How's the editing on it? Better than on some of his latest Discworld books?
