I finished "The Dark Side of the Sun" yesterday. It's a pretty short novel, so reading it in a day isn't an amazing feat. This book is Pratchett's first novel, written in 1976. I really enjoyed seeing Pratchett build a whole science fiction universe from scratch. The writing style feels a lot like other science fiction authors of the era, although there are bits that would later show up in Discworld novels. I liked how Pratchett stretched his creativity. Yes, it was all highly improbable, but enjoyable. The name of the robot, that's just to die for.
