I've also just finished this book too. I will have top agree with you Rinso. I found it quite refreshing there at the end when Granny was a bit sad to know that all the words were gone and kept asking if he had a prayer book or something. I git the feeling that she finally understood what he was talking about.

I found some of the dialouge a but frusterating, like trying to read a private conversation. For example, when Granny finds out that Oats had heard her talking in her sleep. I wanted more information and it just left it. I would've liked to have Granny or Oats explain what when on just then. Maybe I'm just a bit slow. It usually takes me a couple of reads to get everything in a pTerry book and that was my first time reading that.

Great book.
