Man, this one was dark. More dark than I am accustomed to from Pratchett. The laughs, what few there were, consisted of wry smiles more than an actual belly laugh. This was more of a 'through the mirror darkly' than his usual light-hearted take on our world as seen through the lens of the Discworld. Very compelling reading though.
