Great to get back to Pratchett. His love of the Victorian era is evident in the descriptions of London and the deluge of cameos from famous/important Victorian figures, like Benjamin Disraeli and Charles Dickens. You'll get more out of it if you know the time period. I admit, it felt a little odd for Sweeny Todd to show up when other famous Victorians were real. There are similarities between this book and Charles Dickens, mostly in the form of a young poor man rising above his station. My favorite character here was Solomon.
