Unseen Academicals

This is Terry Pratchett’s latest Discorld effort.
I had read relatively poor reviews for this, but I can’t agree – its just as strong as his other works.
The story – the common people of Ankh-Morpork follow football, but it is an unregulated and unsafe game. At the same time, the wizards of Unseen University realise that unless they enter a team to play football, they will lose a bequest that has been feeding them for years… at the same time, a young man has turned up in the candle dribbling vats beneath the University with some very strange abilities indeed.
We have a host of new characters, and strong visits from our old favourites.
Its good.
Get your hands on it and read it.
