It's bad enough being new on the job, but Teppic hasn't a clue as to what a pharaoh is supposed to do. After all, he's been trained at Ankh-Morpork's famed assassins' school, across the sea from the Kingdom of the Sun.First, there's the monumental task of building a suitable resting place for Dad -- a pyramid to end all pyramids.

    Pure delight

    From the colourful bits about the Assassins' Guild to the truly marvellous pseudo-Egyptian setting of the bulk of the story, nothing goes wrong here. Ever. Just read it.

  • Pyramids was kinda disappointing.
    I remember liking it very much a few years ago, but this time I had just a sort of vague interest.
    But it's still a Pratchett's book, and therefore better then most other books I've read XD
