It's hard to choose a favorite Pratchett book but I've nearly memorized this one so it may have chosen itself.

2.5 stars to be precise.

Sadly, I have to say it was a tad bit boring, and not as humorous as its predecessors. The plot was as unfortunately meandering as the repeatedly described countryside. And it certainly could've been a shorter book (especially if the lengthy monologues-disguised-as-dialogues on Vimes and Willikins' parts were taken out - they got unamusing quite fast).

Overall, a rather anticlimactic end to the excellent City Watch sub-series. Although - because Terry P is incapable of otherwise - it has redeeming moments in its witty insights and the subject matter.

It's not that this one wasn't any good so much as I didn't really enjoy it very much. It's not exactly a page-turner, and I knew to care about the goblins and Vimes, but it felt more implicit and less of a personal experience. Maybe it's because I've only read one other Discworld novel (Going Postal), or maybe I should have limited my distractions as I poured through this one, but it just wasn't as much fun or nearly as clever as I've come to expect from Pratchett.
