I felt that it was about time for me to return to Discworld! 
 In Pyramids, we follow Teppic - the heir of Djelibeybi - as he goes to Ankh-Morpork to study with the assassin's guild. He's called home just after passing his final exam because his father has died and it's now his turn to be king. 
 Like the rest of the Discworld series, Pyramids is laugh-out-loud-and-then-realize-you're-on-the-bus-and-die-a-little-inside-with-shame funny. The plot is a little flimsy, but that's not what I'm coming to Pratchett for anyway. I did also find that Pyramids didn't have any characters that really stood out. Dios and Ptraci (Tracey?) both had potential, but neither was really sufficiently explored. And, like most Discworld novels, the climactic end is written too visually and doesn't come across very well - I often find myself skipping through the last 10-20 pages of Pratchett's novels. 
 And, of course, I love how dense Discworld novels are with thinking food. Pratchett is a master at bringing up complex issues and ideas in a very simple (and funny!) way. 
 I don't think that this would make a good starter novel for someone new to the Discworld universe, but it's an excellent addition for old fans!
