"Incomplete novel. Old fashioned SF. No emotion."This book disappoints on multiple levels:It lacks the humanity that is normally at the core of Terry Pratchett's books. No matter how odd the circumstances of DiscWorld are, the people, even the non-human ones, a real and you learn to care for them or...
A 200 page story told in 400 pages. It starts out promising... But the pace is excruciatingly slow, and the characters aren't as fleshed out as you'd like. There are so many things that could have happened here, but all we did was... cruise. Was there even an ending? Was there even a middle?I unknow...

I only gave this book 4 stars because I think that the next one set in this world will be much better because it will require less e...

1) I've been listening to this book all day, I'm on chapter 9, and it's still boring. I have no attachment to this story or the characters at all yet. Nothing has grabbed me, so I feel like this is a waste of my time.2) This story clearly centers around American characters from an American city,...
