There's very little Pratchett in this book, unfortunately. It's based on his 30-year old short story, but it feels like Terry had practically no input in growing it into a book. It's really underdeveloped.

Well that was disappointing. The "self-help" part, promised in the title, takes less than 10 pages in the end of the book.

The "societies" part is also, very clearly, a missed promise - this book does not look, at all, outside the USA borders. Not in terms of problems it looks at, not in terms of influences.
