Dodger

DNF - Approximately page 71 (audiobook)

Why?

It pains me to admit this, but I have no interest in ever finishing this. I have had at least some fun with all of Pratchett's Discworld books that I've read - though especially the ones about Death and the Night Watch. This book, however, has nothing that I enjoyed in it.

The typical Pratchett humor is woefully missing. Dodger himself is a Gary Stu of epic proportions and the plot thread through these first chapters was barely the thinnest thread. At first I liked the narration - and it is true that the narrator did the various voices well, the genders and the social classes - but he also sounds a little too dry.
