It's a brilliant read.
With that said; you can tell in the first chapter or 2 his disease is having an effect. The first chapter especially has some clunky moments :( After that it warms to it's stride till the end when it finishes somewhat cheerily for a Pratchett book...
It's a sad sad shame that we might not see many more brilliantly witty Disc World novels :(

I found his voice quite different too. But I attributed the difference to a change in personality. Such a change is likely to accompany a view over the cliff-drop of intellectual mortality, without dropping over the cliff itself.
If you weren't aware of his condition, would you have attributed the "clunky moments" to a brain disorder? Even some of Pratchett's earlier books have had the occassional problematic chapter.
Possibly; all his previous books have had a really careful plot. This one felt, as a whole, a little more meandering.
You right though; I was expecting it to be different.

I was hoping for some discussion of the crab-bucket and the hammer. These are, I think, relevant topics for this site.
This is the first Discworld release since I've left the UK, I think. Why are the American covers always so terrible?
I nearly had a heart attack when I realized I forgot about the next Discworld release. At least I know what I'll be doing this weekend! Living in the bookstore again...
