I was amazed at the depth of the story, though why I should be I don't know as I know what Terry Pratchett is capable of.Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-33785794219559820822010-03-08T23:49:28.570+00:002010-03-08T23:49:28.570+00:00I am so glad you enjoyed this.

To be that closed-minded is a very sad thing indeed.<br /><br />Book pusher: I find it sad that some people are so snobbish about Terry Pratchett... usually they're people who haven't read him... which is the way of the world of course. Criticise what you don't understand even if you haven't tried it. I too think his books will stand the test of time.Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-65943750224402878492010-03-07T08:47:56.805+00:002010-03-07T08:47:56.805+00:00Cath, what a great review, and he does write wonde...Cath, what a great review, and he does write wonderful female characters. He really does deserve more respect and the reviewer you mentioned really is just showing his/her ignorance. A.S. Byatt is amongst his legions of fans and she is one of the most cerebral novelists and critics I can think of. I think in years to come his work will stand the test of time and continue to be read by a constantly growing legion of fans. Lovely to read your thoughts on Nation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-75039820238632014172010-03-06T21:39:31.696+00:002010-03-06T21:39:31.696+00:00"Brilliant - read it" about sums it up, ..."Brilliant - read it" about sums it up, yes :P<br /><br />I feel so so sorry for that reviewer *shakes head*Ana S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16092495983972185943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-88077009574952134782010-03-04T08:26:54.178+00:002010-03-04T08:26:54.178+00:00GeraniumCat: Daphne is great. I love Pratchett'...GeraniumCat: Daphne is great. I love Pratchett's female characters, he's one of the few male authors who can write real women, imo. Alexander McCall Smith is another one. Nation is definitely a more serious book than he usually writes but there's also plenty of humour running through. I wasn't sure at first but ended up loving it.<br /><br />Pat: yep, *another* good one. I'm due a dud pretty soon, I just know it.
