@francis Jeg synes det er en veldig god oppfølger til hans tidligere bøker, som jeg også har lest med stor interesse.

Ikke lange greia heller, så fort gjort.

Life could be horrible in the wrong trouser of Time.

The rooftops of Ankh-Morpork sprouted a fine array of gargoyles even in normal times, but now they were alive with as ghastly an array of faces as ever were seen outside a woodcut about the evils of gin-drinking among the non-woodcut-buying classes.
