A review by femti11
Nation by Terry Pratchett

5.0

From one bad Alternate History book (House of Storms) to a really good one. It took me the longest of time to pick up 'Nation', because I generally don't like shipwreck tales, but I'm very glad I did. It's a fast read and well crafted and funny. It's not the Discworld, however, and what Pratchett's been going through shows up in his writing. It's a fair bit darker and more adult than the Discworld books (which can, on occasion, be quite dark and adult in their own way), but ultimately it's about thinking, and science and belief, and death (and life, because you can't have one without the other). There's a bunch of disclaimers in the authors notes at the end, the last one of which reads:

Thinking
This book contains some. Whether you try it at home is up to you.
