Just like all Pratchett's books this one strikes me down. This sense of humour and making a parody of the whole world really strikes me down
What's special in Terry Pratchett's books, is that you have to like his style to enjoy them. If someone didn't welcome joking at whole world, including fantasy world, and its dogmas, they shouldn't take this book. This is an excellent parody of every sort of crime stories with typical English humour. My sentiment to this book is even bigger, because my copy of the book is signer by the author, but anyway I recommend it...
