Nation by Terry Pratchett

Nation, as the author says so himself, is pretty impossible to summarise.
But he does so anyway in the following video, which is much better than any other description I've come across on the interwebs. Do have a listen if you have 3 min to spare:

Though aimed at young adults, Nation is a fantastic read for all. I enjoyed the island setting, which, if not treated carefully, can be campy and stale. But Pratchett made it as enjoyable as it can come, and the political and religious satire got me contemplating on our modern world, as well as what Pratchett himself might be contemplating on his own personal level.

As you might already know, I'm a big fan of Terry Pratchett and the Discworld series, and I wonder from time to time how is his battle against a rare form of Alzheimer's disease. I really hope that he can somehow overcome the illness. All the best Mr Pratchett!~
