None
3 stars
Alternately Discworld story and scientific explanation, this is a tried and tested format. It's also a little tired. This time we are thinking about science and religion (belief). The thinking about science is reasonable clear, while I am no science expert I am a keen hobbyist and read a lot, even so some of it wasn't that well explained. Belief, on the other hand, wasn't thought about at all, except that it is seen as irrational, and some very pointed examples of how this worked against the common good. As I read this in very short bursts, over a very long period, I probably have a more negative view, but it seemed to me that the story parts were rather contrived, and lacked the interest of the earlier books. Time to call it a day and not bother with book 5?
Still, just about worth a read.
