Jack the Halls he/him Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Anybody else reading this one? At first I was thrown off because it has a completely different feel than anything Pratchett has done on his own, but after switching my head out of Discworld mode, man did this book click for me. I'm only about 100 pages in, but I already love it. I also want to mention just how good it feels in my hands. I work at a bookstore. I pick up and a LOT of books. Most of them feel cheap. This book feels and looks like what a book is supposed to feel and look like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetness she/her Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 New Pratchett!? I must find it. Is it like Nation? I mean, in the distinctly-un-Discworldy-feel kind of way? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack the Halls he/him Posted June 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 (edited) The main difference is that where his solo books seem to be primarily humor, this one is primarily serious (thought I've still gotten a few good laughs). It's still at the same level of brilliance, and it still has all the quirky goodness of Discworld. I'm only about 1/3 through it so far, but I'm already thinking it might be the best book of the year. Also, the front cover flap says it's the first novel of the collaboration, or something. I wonder if that means more books to come? Edited June 21, 2012 by Jack the Halls 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetness she/her Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 That is so cool! I'm going to go look for this weekend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
