This was a fun and enjoyable book. Although definitely not the best in Terry Pratchett's wonderful Discworld series of novels, this is still a good fun book, with some hilarious moments. However, it must be taken in to account that I am an avid Terry Pratchett fan, and so the book is probably not as good as I say it is. However, even with this taken in to account, it is still a good read, although not deserving of the Carnegie medal. I definitely hope that Pratchett soon has another book in the Carnegie shortlist, this time more like some of his better books.

PS Peter Johnson likes the plays on words, but I don't.
