  • This was a funny and poignant book about visiting the past. I liked how Sam taught his younger self about bravery and doing the right thing. I also liked meeting characters when they were younger such as Dibbler and Vetinari.

    I consider this to be Pratchett's most polished work. Less fantasy, more reality. It's certainly among his most emotional works - I cry like a baby every time I read it.

    At first, anyone would be skeptical - Sam Vimes as a time-traveler, isn't this a bit cliche? But once again Pratchett takes a convention of fantasy and sci-fi and spins it on its head to produce this gem of a novel.

    Touching and brilliant, I can't speak highly enough of this entry into the Discworld oeuvre.
