Pratchett's writing style didn't toally immerse me in the characters' lives (in, say, the way JK Rowlin's did). But I did enjoy his totally imaginative, completely off-the-wall world where luggage can walk, wizards can see the 8th color, and dragons are fake (but yet real).

I enjoyed the plays on words that appeared throughout (Rimfall, Circumfence, the Big Bang Theory). I also really loved Prachett's descriptive phrases ("...it suddenly spoke in a voice like a claw being scraped across glass.")

I will definitely be reading more (especially since Kit so kindly loaned me the first 5 books in the series!).]]>
