What is the author's style in The Light Fantastic by Terry Pratchett?

The language of the novel is highly colorful, using a number of similes for both parody and dramatic effect. At times, Pratchett will use two or three similes to describe one object, which works to parody his own style and jokingly present himself as unconventional. Early in the novel, he says the world's rulers have banned writers in the Discworld from making comparisons that are not accurate. Consequently, his overuse of metaphors gives the novel a rebellious spirit.
