Title: Thief of Time
Author: Terry Pratchett
Number of pages: 384
Genre: fantasy
Book Number/Goal: 23/50
My Rating: 4/5
Review:
This is a Discworld novel where the main characters have to save the world from a devious plan to stop the time. The best part of the book is language - it's witty, elegant and very quotable. Also, the subject matter leads to wonderful philosophical insights into the nature of time, history and what does it mean to be a human. Unfortunately all the characters are either boring or annoying (though the Auditors are kind of amusing), and the mysteries are not really intriguing - it didn't keep me on the edge wanting to know what comes next, the plot seems to be only a framework for humor and interesting sci-fi concepts. Anyway, the fun and thoughtful parts make up for the boring parts, so overall it's still worth reading.
