and the insights are only insights if you are a fifteen year old I suppose if you only read a couple of the early Discworld books, before he really got rolling, this could be a valid statement. But I simply cannot agree with it in the context of where the books ended up going; for example, the last few Vimes books have dealt with some rather mature themes, and not just the sorts of things tvtropes refers to as "adult fears" (though there is some of that).
