I should have read a few reviews before I opened this one....Logically, you would think you should start with book 1 in a long series. I have a habit of accidentally picking up say book 4 in a series, liking it, and then having to go back and start at the beginning. So here I was thinking starting with book 1 was a good thing. Should have read the reviews because then I would have known NOT to start with book 1. Skip it. For now. Read a few others and then come back. Because this one? Was kinda boring. And it didn't do the best job at world building. There were characters that flit through a few pages and then disappear. I assume in a later book they'll be important but not this one. I did like the characters, (well most of them). Rincewind too a little bit to get used to and Twoflower seesawed back and forth between idiocy and haplessness. So I'm willing to try another Discworld book....I just need to read a few more reviews to figure out which one.
