Book Reviews of Nation

Book Review: 5 degrees west of starboard
Summary: 4 Stars

First thing, it's not a Discworld novel. Don't be expecting constand funnies and bad puns. It's more a proper novel that 95% serious and set in a world about 5 degrees away from ours. It's got Terry's halmark deep probing of people and what it means to be someone and belong somewhere (also tree-climing octopi - I did say 95%).
It has an array of classic Pratchett characters, some deep and interesting, some so thin you can see straight through them. But all fascinating nontheless(?).
Very entertaining to read and as always absorbs several hours of your time while you are transported somewhere else.
