What Risingshadow readers think about this book
i like my books to an escape so anything thats close to real life isnt my normal cup of tea HOWEVER.....
this book is beyond my expectations and im a huge PRACHETT fan. the concept is fresh and (in my limited experiance) unique yet sum how within close reach of being possible/real
the standard of writing is exactly the same quailtiy and humor id expect from PRACHETT but is relms apart from disc world
