I like Douglas Adams but, yes fans (of anything really) can get a little over-enthusiastic. Just remember they are trying to tell you how the book made them feel and you should respect that, but don't expect that you will necessarily share their enthusiasm.
BTW, I liked the first two Discworld books just fine but they are not my favorites. The early books tended to be parodies of fantasy novels, while the latter books are more about poking fun at our world (the Round World).
