kyuk916 's review for:

The Fifth Elephant by Terry Pratchett
3.0

Of the Discworld novels featuring Sam Vimes, this is probably my least favorite. While the character of Vimes is always enjoyable, the plot doesn't seem to really *start* until the book is halfway through, and then suddenly it's over. I was constantly wondering, "What is going ON here?" while reading, and it wasn't until the last 50 pages or so that I finally understood. But it wasn't like a well-written mystery that keeps you guessing; I think it was just poorly structured.
