Sam Vimes redux. First, I have to say that this is (as usual) a fantastic book for any Discworld fan. Sam Vimes is one of the most complex and compelling characters ever, and this latest installment really does him justice. The story isn't a fantasy novel, it's a detective story/drama/comedy that just happens to take place in a fantasy setting. As always, Mr. Pratchett shows a keen eye for social issues and modern life while remaining true to the gentle humor and powerful storylines that drive His Grace Sir Samuel Vimes. The ebook had a LOT of problems that need to be fixed, but the book itself is awesome.

False advertising: this one is abridged. I just listened to this one with the usual pleasure, but it felt it a bit short and unfulfilling, and a bit confusing. So I bought, paid for, and checked with the ebook edition, and found out to my astonishment that this book, though NOT LABELLED so, is ABRIDGED! In fact, half the book is missing! This is either false advertising, or a bad mistake in labelling which should be corrected soonest. Now I have to buy the book for the third time, to get the full audiobook version I wanted. (Why would they even *make* an abridged version? There's nothing in Pratchett's writing which wants or warrents abridging.) (Apart from all this, it's the usual good stuff, fans of Sam Vimes will not be disappointed. But get the un-abridged version.)

Snuff. Fix the problem of word spacing. Terry Pratchett deserves better.

Not the best Discworld. A decent read. The plot and story are fairly solid...but ye gods, the style is AWFUL. All the dialogue is stilted, formal, and unreal. No one sounds like who they are (Nobby Nobbs, Vimes, and Fred Colon are the worst offenders); none of these characters are recognizable. The book's style reads like a bad Victorian romance novel, not Discworld. In the last years of his life, as the Alzheimers destroyed his brain, Pratchett would dictate his writing into a tape recorder and leave the transcribing to his editors and daughter. It shows. It shows horribly. I can't tell if the style is from Pratchett's deterioration or from said editors putting their heavy hand on this work. I suspect the latter.

I love it. I love this book

Great Book, Appalling Typos. I have only just started to read Snuff, but I can tell already that it's yet another strong Pratchett showing. What is NOT strong is the quality of this digital version. It seems that every other page has a pair of words without a space. The publisher, Apple, or whoever is responsible should be embarrassed. Mr. Pratchett's prose deserves better.

No footnotes. I am a big Pratchett fan but as such I know that lots of the material in the Disk World Series is in the footnotes. The iBooks version seems to have eliminated them. I will not be buying more iBooks.

Snuff. Read this in hardcover, then I ran out to the library to find more Sam Vimes! I have read loads of Pratchett, and I will read more! Write on!

Vimes is back..... And so good to see him in action again, thankfully, as alway Sir/MR Pratchett delivers a wonderfully woven story...

Absolutely delightful!. Sir Terry Pratchett has done it again!

Highly enjoyable. If it was anyone else, this book would be a five star. But in the continuity of Pratchett's work it does not belong amongst the best of the best. Don't get me wrong, Snuff is an excellent addition to the Watch series. It is a compelling story the brings us closer to Vimes as he spreads his influence across the unnamed continent. It was a fun read that was over far too fast. I give it four stars out of reverence for other books like Thud! and Wee Free Men; books that dive into deep aspects of character development, while exploring larger themes. Whereas those books are examples of Pratchett at his most Ernest, Snuff ini a fun mystery read. A total update of the English countryside murder scenario that Agatha Christy was so fond of.

Bad formatting. I have only read the sample, but will not buy the ebook version. Whoever did the proof reading missed a number of words which join together. Just because it is an ebook does not mean I don't expect quality. None of Pratchett's paper books had this level of error in them. The book itself seems good, which is what I have based my star review on.

Snuff’s enough. First Discworld book I’ve read!! Looking forward to start at the beginning

Dreadful formatting. It's Pratchett, so of course the quality of the writing goes without saying. I highly suggest buying the print version, though, or even seeing if the Kindle version is better formatted, because this is one of the most glaringly awful formatting jobs I've ever waded through, hands down. Typos every page, sometimes every paragraph. The makers of the e-version should be ashamed to do this to a good book.

Brilliant!. Another wonderful journey through a world that is colorful, clever, absurd, and illuminating. And fun.

Thumbs up!. A real page turner and a must read!
