Not a bad book, but pretty drawn out, kind of wish it was a shorter novel. I'm not sure if the invention of a county that has every cliché about Australia is intentionally bad, or if it's a lack of real understanding. The way Rincewind treats the 'female impersonators' is nice, but the language used by the author seems to but him more on the side of the rest of the characters, who see them as other and poor imitations.
