A clever, funny, imaginative book, ideal for a thinking teenager but enjoyable for anyone looking for a well-written epic fantasy, and one which raises interesting questions about faith and religion (with Pratchett's ever-present editorializing footnotes).
There a handful of books that I look forward to sharing with whatever children there will be in my life....the Cartoon History of the Universe, The Little Prince, and this novel.
The first few pages are quite possibly my favorite first few pages of any novel, ever: a beautiful, bittersweet, darkly comic description of turtles and the eagles who eat them.
