    As I've said before, I say again - there is no such thing as a bad Pratchett. While lacking the gravitas of Night Watch or Thud!, it's still a remarkably funny, often insightful look at the true nature of economics.

    Pratchett has set a preternaturally high standard for literature - which he sometimes fails to meet, some may say. But every book I've ever read of his is always good for a laugh and often comes with at least one truly quotable line.

    I wouldn't say this latest is his best, but it certainly enriches the texture of the Discworld universe by adding yet another layer of reality to it. Long-standing fans of Pratchett will not be disappointed by this work, but they won't have the same feeling they had coming off of "Night Watch", "Thud!" or "Wintersmith."
