I can't believe the first time I ever heard of Terry Pratchett was about a month ago not only considering how apparently popular his books are, but also considering how delightful of an experience it was to read this! I'm usually not one to laugh out loud when a book is funny, but Going Postal really flipped that aspect of myself on its head. On another note, while some parts of the book were a bit difficult for me to wrap my head around (still don't really know what a clacks tower looks like...), that didn't keep me from enjoying the story. I felt the same amount of joy reading this as I do when reading the main Harry Potter books but, contrary to the latter, it definitely eases my conscience to know that Going Postal wasn't written by a terf.

This is the first book in the Discworld series I've read and it was a brilliant introduction. It's a clever story with a compelling plot and funny writing. I liked the otherworldly aspects of the setting and fantasy influence. If I'm being picky, I would have liked to see more female characters - or at least had the one woman in the book have an actual storyline.
