one of his better discworld novels I thought, even though I've heard it said it's a bit of a stretch to basically do a Hollywood story on the discworld. while I agree that it does come across as a bit forced at times, the fact that he includes lots of characters and still manages to include ankh-mor...
Gaspode the Wonder Dog! Really. I had a good time with this one, and had a great time picking out all of the movie references. Not to mention the arrival of a new Archchancellor for the UU.
