I’ve wanted to try this one but have been hesitant as I didn’t know how sacrilegious it would be. I know Pratchett was an atheist. Looking forward to your thoughts.

It's been great so far. I mean it's not going into the gospel cannon anytime soon. But if Pratchett and Gaiman think they are breaking new ground on the significance of human free-will, I think they're mistaken. The overarching premise of the book seems to be that the forces of evil and good are not nearly as powerful as free-will. This theme is laced through their typically thick sarcasm and satire.
