giouxsie 's review for:
The Fifth Elephant
by Terry Pratchett
adventurous
funny
lighthearted
fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
Plot
The worst of the City Watch sub-series and still easily in the top 10 of Discworld so far!
Whilst I did find it irritating how many of the sub plots are ultima ely irrelevant and dropped for hundreds of pages at a time (Gasopode, the remaining watch, or the Angua/Carrot relationship drama), the main core plot is a lot of fun and gives us further insight into the different sub cultures and other countries of Discworld! It's not directly taking shots at any one thing in it's satire either but it still has so much wonderfully charming humour and political angst!
