Which Gaiman and Pratchett? *SPOILERS* Camilla Send a noteboard - 10/05/2010 09:51:01 PM
and I agree that the first chapter does not work. But apparently it works for a lot of people. And it works, and has some better moments, when you reread it (like Pestle's shoe thing in the empty place). But I liked and read the book despite it, not because of it.

I am not sure why you should need my forgiveness (although if I had not had a glass of wine or so, I might come after you for naming him "Babycakes"), though. I was not annoyed about repetition. Do you mean repetition of information?

I don't like it so far. About 150-200 pages in. Not impressed. - 10/05/2010 10:02:21 PM 1509 Views
I don't recall it getting any better later - 10/05/2010 10:15:55 PM 1478 Views

This is a weak novel. - 11/05/2010 03:50:01 PM 1438 Views
This is one of the books you really should not judge until you've finished it *NM* - 11/05/2010 04:15:23 PM 792 Views
That's why I didn't. - 11/05/2010 07:59:54 PM 1499 Views
