Sybil claims it’ll be a holiday, but as Vimes puts it, he’s a policeman and policemen find crime, so he’s going to find a crime even if he tries not to. Meanwhile, Angua le...
The Fifth Elephant is the fifth book in the Watch subseries of Discworld. As I’ve mentioned in previous reviews, my enjoyment of the Watch books has grown as the series has progressed. With this book however, I wasn’t as entertained by it as I had been by the last couple. I’m not sure if it was t...

I read The Fifth Elephant again because I needed to relax.I wonder if it's even worth saying anything about a book that already has 30,000+ reviews? Just this perhaps. What makes Terry Pratchett at his best a fantastic author? Lot's of things, but have you notice his gift for rhetoric? He spends hal...
Loved this one, loved the way we get more of a sense of who Sybil is. My only complaint is that this means I’m getting close to the end of the Watch books. Nooooo.
