It made the book drag on longer than necessary. You wonder if the science authors had any editorial input, really, since the balance felt off compared to the fiction part. It should have been paced better with a funny wizard story then a short bit about the science the wizards are exploring then back to the funny story all within a few pages. But that's just my take on it and your mileage may vary. ;)Celinehttp://www.celinechatillon.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30001322.post-75101637281714923632014-02-20T11:38:52.223-05:002014-02-20T11:38:52.223-05:00I love the Discworld novels - not so sure about th...I love the Discworld novels - not so sure about this book though. Like you say, the wizards (or, in Rincewind's case "Wizzard") are wonderful creations. A shame their real-life counterparts aren't as funny and interesting!A Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07834159033854153921noreply@blogger.com
