Interesting stuff. I just started reading Snuff again (now that I have a working kindle) and thought of commenting on things as they come. And commenting on the points in the outer bank thread when I get to them.
Essentially, there are parts of Snuff that are not pure Terry Pratchett (and it kills me a little
). And parts, of course, that are quintessential Terry Pratchett.
If we talk about writing style, the first disharmonious cord came very soon.
"After a few second, nothing was eclipsed by the form of Drumknott, his secretary (who, it must be said, had spent a career turning himself into something as much as like nothing as anything)."
The part is parantheses sounds a bit contrived to me. And more Douglas Adams-y than Pratchett-y. What do you think?

Am reading it again, and of course, enjoying it much more. Read quickly, wanna discuss it with you.
