The strength of this book lies in the ending, I think. As a whole, it's not my favourite Discworld book - I like Death, but not as much as other people seem to, and there are times when the story seems just a little muddled. But the idea of belief changing, of the subsequent mythological creation and destruction, and most especially of the need to prep kids with little lies so they'll more easily believe the big ones, is excellent. Death's explanation at the end is extraordinary - if only the oh god of hangovers and Violet and Teatime had lived up to that level of writing. As it is, character-wise I have to content myself with Susan, who I really do genuinely enjoy.
