I found with the Tiffany Aching novels, having read them as a grad student and later, is that I very nearly bounced off the first books, but by the later books, they may be my favorite Pratchett.
As a "my last bio class was ninth grade, thirty years ago", I also bounced hard off Weir's hail mary. It...you know how Crichton sometimes skipped the rope between hard sci fi and more speculative spec-fic? Weir apparently took notes, but they were the wrong notes.
