I have to say that I was disappointed by this Discworld episode. The story was confused and all over the place. The introduction of new characters in the last third of the novel did not help with the story's development or for that matter conclusion. Not one of Terri Pratchett's better works

A rollicking fantasy on the subject of time.

This book wins, however I don't recommend it as your intro to Discworld. Try some of the Rincewind stories, or Night Watch first.

When you have some time to kill... Of course, it is only a clock, a machine devised with the sole purpose of telling time. Yes, it is an accurate clock. An extremely accurate clock to say the least. But why would it do any harm. It wouldn’t be stopping time, would it? No way. Or it must be that it’s located on the Discworld, a place where time is slow to wake-up and has some strange habit disappearing when needed the most. When Jeremy, an excellent craftsman although quite a bit estranged from realty, decides to make the perfect clock, he is doing more than just killing time… a lot more. Where does he keep getting those great ideas? This time Terry Pratchett takes his readers on a trip through the quantum space of time. Although many characters excel in doing a great return performance -like the pieced-together Igor and Death with his entire family- it are the new players that steal the show. Lu Tze and his apprentice Lobsang Ludd show us how much fun you can have with keeping it humble. No wonder they resonate so well with things that will make you think about Buddhism. But certainly the most hilarious newcomer must me Ronnie, or previously known as the fifth Horsemen of the Apocalypse. But do not bother him too much, because he has to finish his milk round before his customers get annoyed. The Thief of Time is again an excellent showcase of the talented and versatile Terry Pratchett. A must read for anyone with some time to kill.

He can combine humor, depth and silliness all in one sentence.

I hadn't really read a satirical novel like this before. It was really amusing---a lot of tongue in cheek comments that make the reader do a double-take. I got bogged down near the end----a lot of strange time travelling and universe splitting stuff happening---but the read was still worth the time. ;)
