Pyramids

Executive Summary: Another good, but not great entry in the Discworld series. This one seems to read pretty much stand alone, though I think it would be best to have some knowledge of the series prior to this book.Full ReviewIt's been a few months since my marathon of several of the previous books, and I was in the mood for Mr. Pratchett's humor. I'd been in a bit of a reading slump after my previous book, and hoped this would be a light quick read to break me of that.Unfortunately that wasn't the case. It was light, and quite funny at times, and usually very quotable. I just never really got into it like I have some of the other books. I didn't care too much about the characters I guess. I found Teppic largely forgettable, Dios quite annoying and the camel and all its related jokes groan worthy.I loved the setting though. When I was younger I absolutely loved ancient Egypt, pyramids and the Sphynx. I'm surprised I didn't like it more as a result. A lot of the pyramid related humor was pretty good, but not enough to always hold my interest. I went many days between reading, and was never really in a rush to get back to it.In a series this long and varied, there are likely to be some books I'll enjoy more than others, and this one just falls into that latter category for me.I'll probably take another month or two long break before finally tackling [b:Guards!

(Discworld, #8; City Watch #1) Terry Pratchett https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1431127356s/64216.jpg 1128601], which will hopefully live up to the high expectations people have built up for me.
