Terry Pratchett's illness was showing in his work a lot, but nobody can bear to admit it. He's too well loved. It's had good reviews because Sir Pterry is carried on a tide of (deserved) national goodwill, but I was frankly shocked by the deterioration you can see in "Unseen Academicals".
What he really, really needs now is a collaborator, possible Neil Gaiman, to keep the plot on course, while they write "The Neighbour of the Beast" asap.
