Title: Brilliantly funny yet touching
Product review: Loved every minute.On the one hand, I found this book more touching, and slightly darker, then some other Discworld novels. There's bound to be some saddness involved with going into hopeless wars for stupid gods. This is not necessarily bad: I felt this was giving a true heart to the story, making the characters real & compassion-worthy (well - at least some of them, that is).On the other hand, Pratchett has always been able to introduce compassion into his novels without ruining the fun (see the witches stories in particular). This book is no different. It has the usual parade of insane characters & hilarious moments. I was reading it on the train & sometimes it was all I could do not to embarass myself by bursting out laughing.
