Sorry, but I'm a third of the way through The Colors of Magic and so far I love it.

The book (in style) reminds me of Douglas Adams. Once you understand that the impossible is simply bound to happen, then you just sit back and enjoy.

The only problem I'm having is with some of the English terms (but that's why I love having a good dictionary built right into my book). The word "rota" was a new one on me.

And now that I've had the character of Death fully explained to me (as in his face having an immovable rictus of a smile, I understand why it wasn't really necessary to have Death's jaws moving in the Hogfather movie.

Worry not ... I am having a great time, and expect to have an even better one as the series progresses.
