I think I've only read this Pratchett novel once before, and on the re-read, I enjoyed it more than I expected to.

HOLY SHIT.

Really, just...holy shit. This book takes "amazing" to a whole new level. Aside from one typographical error (a capital A following a comma), not one piece of this novel was out of place.
