I thought I had found every work of sir Terry Pratchett, but thankfully I was mistaken.I enjoyed this book insanely, with the bitter thought in my backmind this may be the last new work I find of him. It is totally a Pratchett book. Very well written with jokes in the most unexpected corners. You can hear that Terry not just loves words but has an obsession with them and know how to use them in the fullest. You also hear that London is clearly the inspiration for Ankh Morpork (discworld).It is a complete book. Nothing can be added to make it better than this. I love the personal authors note at the end. Stephen Briggs (a close friend of Terry) has done the BEST job as the narrator!Keep in mind that Terry was already diagnosed and suffering for some years with a rare form of Alzheimer when he wrote this masterpiece. Wich makes this and his other stories extraordinairy. I dont think many people would've done the same.A true masterpiece writer till the end. Rest in peace Sir Terry.

Net als alles van Pratchett en Briggs: geweldig. Een leerzaam, grappig en inspirerend beeld van dit keer onze eigen wereld.
