Terry Pratchett

4.31 AVERAGE


Parts of this book were genius...but it is Terry Pratchett after all! Felt it lost its way though and muddled its way through to the end.

I'm sort of haphazardly making my way through the Discworld books, and I don't think this one should've been my second. It wasn't as compelling as the Night Watch, and I didn't find myself that interested in the result of the political conflict or the murder mystery. I think I'll try the ones at the top of the "Best of Discworld" list first.

I am always a little disappointed with the watch novels. This is a bit of a new low though. The whole gmodding by Vimes is just... Silly.

I am also usually struck by how the watch novels usually have a more smug attitude. They seem more snooty than funny.
