Rating:  - Love it.If having to go to work and not needing sleep, hadn't got in the way, I would have read this all in one go (as it was I'd read it in 24hrs). What was so good about it? The story, the characters, the thoughts and ideas and the hope. It was so well written I could see the Nation, and wanted so much to know what happened.

I won't comment on the plot, but there are a lot of very, very ancient questions put into new and unique words that leave ... Read More Rating: - A beautiful bookAs always, Terry Pratchett's beautifully clever and incredibly entertaining writing style comes through in this book and adds to the touching story. The relationship that develops between Mau and Daphne is extremely well written and, as usual, the characters are incredibly unique and very funny. I thought this was an absolutely beautiful book.
