Weekly Post

So, I'm not really sure what else I can say about this book that nobody else has mentioned. But, I'll stick with the crowd and say that I loved this book! I was definitely rooting for the girls the whole time, and I loved all the 'monsters'. Especially Maladicta! I loved the fact that she was addicted to coffee instead of blood. I'll admit to being able to relate to that, you know, except for the blood thing in general. I love the few Terry Pratchett books that I've read and this one is no exception. I will admit that the no chapter thing threw me off for a bit, and could be frustrating when I wanted to stop at a convenient place, but other than that it was a good time. So, yeah, this was a good book and I enjoyed it.

Oh, and I will say that I loved the footnotes!! They were perhaps one of my favorite parts. I will say that I disagree with Jessica about them being like an essay, because no essay I have ever read has had footnotes as amusing as these. It kind of reminds me of Monty Python and the Holy Grail, in the beginning, when the subtitles are full of hilariousness.

I love the footnotes too!

I hardly pay attention to the chapter sections in books anyway, so I didn't really notice the lack of convenient stopping place anyway.

You and me both! I loved the footnotes. It was almost saddening when I turned the page and there was no footnote there.
