Bazoaxe Feb 2021 1:39pm, 4 Feb 2021 18,854 posts	0 Bazoaxe I lanced the terry pratchet boil last night. I have long felt I should read his stuff. I did read the book which was a book group choice a few years back and it was ok A while back the kindle daily deal had book one for 99p so I bought it. I read 5% and for reasons I forget I gave up. Anyway I started from page 1 at the weekend and finished it last night. Conclusion. I found it a hard read to follow with lots of big words I didn’t understand and may have been made up plus lots of funny names. So I have tried but don’t think I will progress to book two.
