5.0

I adore this book. Out of the entire Discworld series, it's my favourite.
  • Questionable hero gets a redemption arc.
  • Realistic use of interesting technologies to drive the plot.
  • Hilarious jokes.
  • Despicable villains.
  • That little spark of magic and mystery.
  • Expressing a love of letters.
  • Ingenious combination of the hero's criminal background and the demands of his present (lawful) employment.

Strongly recommended as a standalone read, even if you haven't read the other Discworld novels.
