just not for me

3 stars

i admit i have no interest in any kind of sportsball, so i didn't really expect this one would be for me, and indeed it wasn't. parts of it were quite funny, i will always accept Drunk!Vetinari, and i did like Mister Nutt... i don't know, the characters were all good, i think the plot is where it failed to grab me. it kinda took too long to take off, and i'm not sure football had anything to do with actually solving Nutt's problem except that they both happened to take place in the same book. anyway, i love Drunk!Vetinari, so chatty, and he does drop a few bars, so i don't regret reading it.
