Almost exactly what I was expecting a short slice of Discworld with some really nice added graphics (this book is kind of the true definition of a graphic novel I guess). When Pratchett was good his satire was sharp and brilliant and there isn't a huge amount of that going on here more like Terry by Numbers but Terry by Numbers is still a lot wittier and more fun to read than a lot of writers at their prime. Short and sweet and mostly un-memorable.

Hallmark movie pablum. An easy read, but unrewarding.

An alternative to the "Changing your own past" time travel trope where instead of massive changes made by a small action we see small incremental changes and shifts in attitude slowly allowing our main character to discover that there's more to life than drink and money. Quite emotionally effecting at points and a little but clunky at others it has a lot more to say than many other books of it's type and does it with subtlety. If you read this you will start off having little sympathy for it's selfish main character who's main relationship is not with the woman of his dreams but with alcohol and partying but during his journey he slowly discovers more about himself than he possibly could living his life sequentially and makes the changes needed to set himself on a much more fulfilling path and by then end you're totally on his side. Enjoyed this a lot.
