Well, it's his first essay on a subject he covers much better in Thief of Time, as far as I'm concerned. I don't think Pyramids gave Pratchett much of a happy feeling either, as he hasn't bothered to mention any of the characters from it in any other DW novel. Not even the greatest mathematician in the world.
I personally liked the end, but still feel there was an overall lack of zing. That middle bit really does sag. Honestly, it's quite a bit better on rereads (yes, I did), because you know what's going to happen and can laugh at the dupes in evil glee.
