In the first half, he spent a little too much time on the science and not enough on the fiction - which is more noticeable when the book opens up into some good, solid adventure stuff in the second half. The characterisation was poor, bet it was the key principles and thoughts in the book that were the most interesting, such as future-predicting probability and limitations of thought.
Although not quite as funny as usual, his parody on the genre and humorous references towards other popular aspects and objects of the world we know are amusing if not laugh-out-loud. I wouldn't particularly recommend it, but if you're a Pratchett or science fiction fan, it might be worth considering given its rather small size.
