Better than the last Discworld novel (Making Money), but still not one of his best books. I liked the Discworld version of football, however the part of the story concerning Nutt's background was a bit convoluted. Maybe that will be further ... I finished reading Making Money by Terry Pratchett last night and I am hooked. I read Thud! last year and was not impressed at all.

Making Money by Terry Pratchett
I've read most of the Discworld novels, so this is a review from that most dreaded of reviewers, A Fan.
"Making Money" was a great, fun read, as with any Discworld novel. I'll take my least favorite Discworld novel over most other novels.
However, ... Oooh. I'm already in the middle of Making Money, and just started Anna Karenina, but...that's tempting.
I think I'll grab the sample chapter to remind me of it. ... not TBRs.
My present TBR list is of record size - it consists of Century Rain, Mistborn, The Faded Sun, Making Money & Powers (bizarre touchstone, but it's an LeGuin book - her latest) plus a reread - The other wind.
What's YOUR definition of a TBR? ... novel with an old man who is, apparently, a dragon in human form.
Now making my way through Terry Pratchett's Making Money, which I like as much as any of Pratchett's novels, but still remains an average Discworld novel. (That said, an average Discworld novel is better than most ... I have promised myself I have to read my 'immediate TBR' pile (Powers (LeGuin, no touchstone...), Making Money, Faded sun and Century rain) before I'm allowed to buy anything new.
