„A slip of the keyboard” is a collection of speeches of Mr. Pratchett, usually on writing and how people perceive his work; however a large portion of this book is not dedicated to the jolly old man Pratchett might feel like if you read his work, but to his fight with Alzheimer's and his fight for the right to assisted death.

The more fun you have with the first part of the collection, the harder the hammer will fall with the articles from the final part. It's a topic hard to swallow, and it feels so... unfair, I guess.

The first part of the book is somewhat repetitive - the book feels more like a not-so-well-thought collection of random artifacts from the past, but the discourse of Mr. Pratchett is worth it. There is no concept, I feel, and no author involvement in the collection, and that makes the whole collection somewhat dry. However, it's a must-have for any fan of Mr. Pratchett's work and inspiring attitude.
