lizshayne 's review for:
The Long Utopia
by Terry Pratchett, Stephen Baxter
Well, this was the first book in this series where the title made very little sense given the actual story. It remains somewhat difficult to describe - it's the strangeness of the sci-fi conceit merged with the quirkiness of Pratchett's characters that make it both incredibly readable and decidedly difficult to take seriously (which is, interestingly enough, NOT a problem in Discworld).
My biggest...hmm, complaint is that the authors are under the mistaken apprehension that I remember things between books in the series. I don't. It does lead to a book that feels populated with complete strangers whose life histories I am expected to remember.
One book left in this series and, I imagine that when next June rolls around, I'll be just as surprised as I was this summer to discover that, yes, here's another one. I should read it.
