Pyramids Book

So this was close to a 5 star ⭐️ book, but topped out at 4.49 recurring, thus meaning due to the law of fractals and quantum, it rounds down to 4, well that's all according to "You Bastard" you understand 😂

More to follow when Jeht, the Boatman of the Solar Orb, rises on the morrow.

So I'm guessing that Thrrp, The Charioteer of the Sun has also been through since I finished the book, but never mind, I'm sure I shall be forgiven if I build a pyramid in my garden.

So this book, is outrageously funny and just such a brilliant observation on human character, from Teppic the new King, through Chidder the assassin to Ptraci the handmaiden, Endos, the listener, Ptaclusp the builder, Dios the head priest and Teppicymon the dead King. But then it is Sir Terry's oh so accurate portrayal of humans that makes his books so poignant and amusing.

This book focuses on the new Kings plans to drag his (small) kingdom into the modern age, with items like plumbing and mattresses. He's learnt about these mod cons by being sent to assassins training school in Ankh Morpk, and on graduation and the death of his father tries to bring these modern ideas back to his kingdom.
Unfortunately he doesn't bank on his "conservative" Head Priest Dios, who lives his life by ritual and regularity and has no time for religion despite believing that Net was the Supreme God, oh as was Hast, Fon, Set, Bin, Sot, Dhek and Ptooie, as well as a host of others. The trouble was the kingdom was a slave to ritual and to a multitude of Gods for every occasion, with many duplicates.
With his father about to be entombed in the mother of all pyramids, calamity strikes and well, you just have to read it to find out how Teppic restores the kingdom and where the greatest living mathematician at the time, the camel, You Bastard fits in !!.

And come to think of it why was it only 4.49 recurring, maybe it was 4.51 ?? Quick send for You Bastard.
