Title: Thief of MY Time
Product review: This is one of those unfortunate works that start excellently, even audaciously, take risks, but suddenly fall precipitously to an ignominious conclusion. My hat's off to Pratchett for his brave invention, but in this case the results are mixed.The jokes, puns, take-offs, etc., fly about in rapid-fire, but the author's coyness eventually becomes tedious, and his characters cease to convince. In fact, the best ones--Igor, for example--disappear from the real action in the last third or so of the novel. So does the author, actually; toward the end he seems to lose interest and merely outlines a denouement. Quite a letdown. . . .
