Raising Steam is the 40th book in the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett.
I waited a long time before starting this book because I heard from several sources that it wasn’t very good and I didn’t want to ruin what has been an awesome 39 book series. I finally bit the bullet and I’m really glad I did because I really enjoyed it. Maybe some literary types can argue some difference between the earlier books and this one, but as far as I can see it’s the same Discworld stuff I’ve enjoyed all along.
Steam trains have come to Discword and most of the world has fallen under their spell. I used to love toy trains as a kid, so I could relate to this. 🙂

I haven’t read Raising Steam yet. In fact, your post is the first I’ve heard of the book, but Discworld is one of my all-time favorite series. I’ll have to hunt it down.
