Very interesting overarching plot, but a bit too all over the place to be truly enjoyable. Sometimes I had to force myself to continue reading. When it ended, I had to take a step back to comprehend the main story, without being distracted by the details.

But I wouldn't skip it.

Susan is one of my favourite characters, so I was glad to see her, her denial and her adventures. It was also entertaining to wonder if Death's behaviour was sound or capricious. Both? I enjoyed the discussion between Death and Albert about giving people what they want.

I don't usually seem to appreciate the Wizards, but the parts with Ponder Stibbons and Hex were an exception.

And of course there are a myriad of very witty and quotable jokes and puns.
