I really, really liked this. I just wish there had been more explanation about the donors and completing and the general world Ishiguro had set up - it was absolutely fascinating and I really wanted to know more about how this set up had begun and what it was they were actually doing which was never really stated.

Having said that, Ishiguro's writing is absolutely beautiful and the story is so carefully and deliberately crafted. It really was a pleasure to listen to.

I didn't love this, but apparently it's not the best one to start Discworld with. I just went the first book and will still continue the series (may switch to another of the Discworld series though).

The writing & characterisation is unbelievably self-conscious. But it's a fun, friendship-focused story and if you feel like some YA fantasy, it hits the spot.
