Very witty but somewhat repetitive. Over a dozen book into the series and Discworld is no more fleshed out than it was in the first couple of books. It's all very light-weight and easy reading that you can pick up and put down anywhere. Rather like a TV soap where you can miss six months of episodes but be bang up to date within minutes of switching on the latest installment. The characters remain fairly 2D are and there's a heavy reliance on "one liners" for the jokes with a very thin story to hold it all together. You can only make a joke out of "music with rocks in (geddit, snigger)" so many, many times.
Quite a lot of rather simplistic political observations of the sort that you might expect from a teenager, too. Usually along the lines of how the world would be a lot nicer if people were a lot nicer. Well yes.
