Bought it inadvertently, intending to get the original. Read it anyway. It was a bit tricky to follow in places. Ordered the other one. If I get a chance I will have to go see some of the stage adaptations. I think the sparse style of the set suits the books.

Loved it. I read Guards Guards first & I know there are some books in between, but I was still able to enjoy this one even more than the first one.
