As a long time Pratchett fan, I was delighted to see his new book on sale just before we went to Nice. There was even a free pen!
Well, it's been a struggle. I thought, for the most part, it was amazingly derivative (e.g. Harry Harrison's A Transatlantic Tunnel, Hurrah! from 1972 ...). There were some interesting twists, of course, but I'm not convinced that this is Pratchett at his best - or anywhere near it. I'll read it again in a couple of weeks in the hope that I missed the best bits first time round.
