Terry Pratchett is probably my favourite author, and it is always with great enthusiasm that I read new Discworld novels. The latest, Unseen Academicals, was no exception to this.

As most of Pratchett's novels, Unseen Academicals takes an aspect of our own society, in this case football, and allows us to gain a new perspective on it by placing it into a mildly fantastical and fairly bizarre setting.

The writing is, as always, excellent and the characters witty, well-thought out and entertaining.

Pratchett is an expert at writing books that are enjoyable and easy to read, but still leave you with some complicated philosophy and a new perspective on the world.
