This was a slow start for me - I've only read two or three other discworld novels ever - I nearly gave it up about halfway through. I'm glad I continued. There is of course an entertaining story, but there is plenty of social commentary buried within the tale. A solid 3.6 and worth the read if you are curious.
Pratchett is a master storyteller. He is endlessly inventive, even when telling a routine kind of tale. He gives you more information and more story than you need, just because he can, and this is completely satisfying. He is a master of complex jokes, good bad jokes, good dreadful jokes and a kind of insidious wisdom about human nature (and other forms of alien nature). I think his mad footnotes are there because he can't stop his mind whirring, and our whirring minds go with him. I read his books at a gallop and then reread them every time I am ill or exhausted.

The chief of police on vacation vs goblin trafficking. Two books away from finishing this series, I am giving up. This book is problematic to a shocking degree, even compared to Thud. But what's finally making me give up on Pratchett is how badly written his later books are becoming. This is a rough draft, not a publishable novel.
