A rollicking adventure with many humourous bits that has somewhat depreciated thanks to the fatphobic and ableist attitudes prevalent in 1995 that have infused so much of this book. There's also a whiff of very old stereotypes insisting the conventionally pretty female must be dumb and/or selectively calculating and shallow, and the not conventionally pretty female must be clever and decent. Pretty light on social commentary or interesting underlying message too. Not my fave Discworld book.
