Long story short, my initial take is that the book has a very unique premise. I don't know how those two guys were able to come up with such a plot. Their characters are unique, the situations are absurd, the world building and organizations come out of nowhere, and the book appears as a fair congregation of both authors abilities and sensibilities, even though I know Pratchett likely wrote most of it. I listened to the audio book, and I know that there are purists who do not consider that to be actual reading. That may have affected my experience with the book because I found it to be very fast-paced and random the scene changes and situations flip back and forth very fast and I had to try my best to catch up and I was often lost. I am guessing that the book was able to delineate these scene changes more clearly. Only after I looked at the summaries of this book did I have a better grasp of what was going on. I like where the story went and how they got there, but perhaps the medium are you using make it feel like it was can a tripping, stumbling, rolling, sprinting, jumping there. I do not need my hand held to get through this book or other books. I guess it's just the style I'm not fully used to yet and still find challenging (which part of me does enjoy, believe it or not) and that's even afterward consuming several books of both authors before. Though I do find the story, characters, and relatable moments enjoyable, I admit that I do have to do little bit more of deciphering. Nevertheless, my wife already watched the show and she really enjoyed it so I look forward to doing so also
