Hogfather

I'm not sure what to make of this one. It's good in its way, but I find it rather too complicated and serious overall—although of course there are bits of humour scattered through it.

It has Death's granddaughter Susan in it, whom I always like; Death himself is in quite good form, and his attendant Albert.

But I'm not normally keen on Pratchett's villains, and here we have a whole bunch of them: the Auditors, Mr Teatime, and his hired gang. I really think the Discworld would be better without the Auditors; they're grey and rather dull, and do nothing for me.
