I just finished reading Christoph's copy of Terry Pratchett's Witches Abroad. While the book is well written and entertaining, I didn't like it. I found my self struggling to get to the end so that I could return it; I actually read two books, Escribir es vivir and The Fan Man between the time I started and finished this one.
I felt as if I was reading a good joke written over the span of some 300 pages. While the writing is good and I can see why some people like it, I got tired after a while.
If I had enough time to read all the books I'd like to —or, to put it another way, if I didn't have any other books I could read—, I would definitely read all the Discworld novels. Since this is not the case, I will read other books that connect with me more strongly instead.
This is the fifth of the Discworld novels I've read. I also wrote about Wyrd Sisters.
