heathward 's review for:

Monstrous Regiment by Terry Pratchett
5.0

A little more obvious and heavy-handed than most Pratchett, but you can understand why a man writing a book about gender took this direction. Still excellent. The book's take on nationalism, particularly the comparison between Ankh-Morporkian and British/US foreign policy, were as good as ever. I found Lieutenant Blouse to be all too relatable.
