Summary: After Death gets forced into retirement for having a personality, things start getting really wierd in Ankh-Morpork as a result of all the life force that wouldn't be there if Death was still in business. Meanwhile, Death is rather enjoying himself off somewhere else.
Thoughts: There's too many other people-based distractions around here. I could've enjoyed the last 50 or so pages a lot more if I'd been able to continue reading right after the preceeding however many as opposed to being forced to either put up with the TV or go somewhere else.
Why is it that I take a liking to the really random characters? Actually I can't think of any from this book at the moment. But I could've sworn there was at least one. Besides the Death of Rats. Or maybe he was the one I was thinking of.
*tries to come up with comments not related to distractions or lack of sleep* Why do I get the feeling that the circumstances of my reading a book color my opinion of it afterwards? Right now I'm rather frustrated and that doesn't seem like a reasonable response to the book even if I am a bit annoyed by the whole Death's romance thing. There's too much amusing stuff to dislike this book regardless of what one thinks of the plot. Although I must admit, it is quite a nice plot.
