This sweltering masterpiece stands alone*.
in a world slowly coming to recognise how opinion+politics+money differs from science, and where climate means more than weather, Terry wrings out a yarn of inheritance v heredity, deity v religion, romance v duty and stupidity v (and I *mean* versus) ignorance. There's a lot about camels, seagulls, olive stones, the value of good needlework and sea breezes.
The story so far....
Teppic inherits the greatest kingdom in this world, i.e. the Disc.
Undeterred, he sets out to make a life for himself.
*You need know nothing of Terry Pratchett or his invented Discworld. [If you do, you meet old friends.]
OK, so Teppic is an assassin. Get over it. And a king, but you can handle that by now, can't you? As for his godship, he hardly mentions it - the camels are more crucial. The pyramids are just, well, in the way, sort of thing.
Terry writes majestic endings.
If you haven't read the book by now, I'm wasting my time.....
Obviously.....

Hur beräknas betyg?
För att beräkna det totala stjärnbetyget och den procentuella fördelningen per stjärna använder vi inte ett enkelt medelvärde. Istället tar vårt system hänsyn till saker som till exempel hur nyligen en recension har gjorts och om recensenten köpte artikeln på Amazon. Det analyserar också recensioner för att verifiera deras trovärdighet.

Not his finest moment
Granskad i Storbritannien den 7 november 2015Verifierat köp
This is not Pratchett's finest hour. you can see why this is a standalone novel. You don't really get the sense that he had any affection for the characters he creates here, unlike in the other books he goes on to make sub series out of. In this book, comedy sits heavily next to discussions of philosophy, quantum mechanics and mathematics and it's a pretty clunky affair. His ideas about the nature of the Gods and belief are interesting and something he develops to much better effect later on in Small Gods. I'm glad there were no more books like this though.

The Book of, basically, going forth
Granskad i Storbritannien den 8 juni 2016Verifierat köp
Personally, one of my favourite Pratchett novels, that is funny in the first few minutes with the protagonist Teppic, who is an assassin, ending up tripping over the mass amount of gear that he had put upon himself.
With many of the novels however, there can be times when some moments are hard to understand, (like what is a llb?), but was made hilarious again by calling a camel (who's a mathematician) YouBastard!
Overall, both Pyramids and Small Gods are something to poke fun of religion at, especially with as much humour as Pratchett did. So, even with the four stars, I would rate this 8/10.

I'm not going to review the novel - it's been done many times before and enjoyed by millions. The latest edition of the hardback makes a smart display set - the paper's not that great but then who reads books these days - with everything available on tablet.... I may even sell off my first editions and just keep these
