It was only upon opening the book that I realized it wasn't a Discworld novel. By page 50 I still didn't understand why it wasn't a Discworld novel, but soldiered on until the end so I could definitely say that Dodger would have been better served as a middling Discworld novel than middling, name-dropping, generic pseudo-historical fiction. It has its moments, favoring the reader every so often with a good line, but... I'm sticking to the post-Hogfather Discworld books from here on out.
