It's bad enough being new on the job, but Teppic hasn't a clue as to what a pharaoh is supposed to do. After all, he's been trained at Ankh-Morpork's famed assassins' school, across the sea from the Kingdom of the Sun.First, there's the monumental task of building a suitable resting place for Dad -- a pyramid to end all pyramids. Then there are the myriad administrative duties, such as dealing with mad priests, sacred crocodiles, and marching mummies. And to top it all off, the adolescent pharaoh discovers deceit, betrayal -- not to mention aheadstrong handmaiden -- at the heart of his realm.

Fun, but fluffy. Not especially memorable or enlightening.
The best thing about this story was learning the identity of the greatest mathematician on the Disc.
I must be getting too old for Mr Pratchett's Discworld. I barely crack a smile while reading his books, including this one.
I loved the twist on the life of an Egyptian Pharaoh, the Afterlife, and the Guilds as usual especially the final exam.
