- A return to glory
I've been a fan of Pratchett since I was eleven years old and read my mum's copy of Witches Abroad because I liked the cover art, but I've found the last handful of Discworld books to be seriously lacking in his old magic.

Nation is something like a breath of fresh air. The prose has the same sharpness, the same wit and wisdom as books such as Wyrd Sisters or Small Gods. I won't comment on the plot, but there are a lot of very, very ancient questions put into new and unique words that ... Read More

- A beautiful book
As always, Terry Pratchett's beautifully clever and incredibly entertaining writing style comes through in this book and adds to the touching story.

- Frustration-Nation.
30 pages in i thought to myself ( ok. i can put up with this. this isnt that bad, the plot is warming up, even if the characters are annoying--lets see where this goes) It does pick up. it becomes mildly enjoyable......but then 2 thirds of the way through the story-- disaster strikes;the plot is leached of new ideas, inventiveness is abandoned just when new ideas would keep the final 90 pages or so enjoyable too.

p.s. i am not Prattchets biggest fan, nor am i a hater.
