I decided to read this book because the series is one of my dad’s favourites. I purchased it at Waterstones and when I went to pay the girl at the till couldn’t stop gushing about it. Then I read it and was like… ‘is that it?’ I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s an acquired test. My dad also loves Terry Pratchett (who I feel had the same sort of humour) and I could never get into his work.

This is a great way to approach reading. In the era of Goodreads I feel like reading, for some people and in some spheres, has become a mindless competition. I'm not sure how much you can actually absorb and take away from a book when you are reading at top speed so you can move onto the next book.

I don't stop every chapter, but I do read slowly, I analyse the book as I'm reading it and if I need to I stop reading to look things up. It really enhances my reading experience and appreciation for the book.
