This novel was a joy to read. The second in the Watch sub-series, it is as much a fantasy as a mystery. People often die in Ankh-Morpork, mostly from suicide (walking along some of the city streets after dark is definitely suicidal), but now a series of murders have been committed. Sam Vimes, the Ca...
Pratchett can wright a novel about integration and politics and gun control that keeps one amused and engrossed and thoroughly engaged the whole time. I enjoyed it so much that as soon as I was finished I purchased the next Discworld book I hadn't yet read, |Interesting Times (Discworld, #17) to st...
A very wry look at the world of technology, bigotry, and politics as seen through the eyes of Terry Pratchett. This one involves the Night Watch, and the forthcoming (forced) retirement of Sam Vimes as he prepares to marry Lady Sybil. He doesn't want to leave the Watch, but politics are pushing him ...
Pratchett can be somewhat hit or miss for me, but this book is a big hit. It's the second book following the members of the Night Watch of Ankh-Morpork as they get three new members due to an inter-species outreach program and go on to hunt a new and terrifying killer in the city, a notable achievem...
I have a feeling that I'm going to end up reviewing all of the Discworld books as I read them as they are just getting better and better. Of course I loved this one as it has the Nightwatch! I love them as much as I love the Witches. This book added a whole lot more of the Nightwatch for me to get t...
This follows on, in some respects, from Guards! Guards! The guards have had ethnic equality forced on them, so that they now have some new recruits; a troll, a dwarf and Angua, who is a woman - well sort of. Captain Sam Vimes is getting married, and will be retiring from the night watch, but when he...
Great story telling. It is about Cop and how things work or don't work. The characters are interesting, well developed, and the plot lead us to some interesting playout to modern time problem of riot control, crime reduction etc.You got to love this one. Really. It is hard not to like the main chara...
Quotes. Spoiler-tagged just in case they're spoilery. I'm terrible at seeing what is and what isn't a spoiler.The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money.Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really ...
Having enjoyed many of Pratchett's books featuring the Wyrd Sisters (three witches), reading the books featuring the City Watch seemed a logical next move. To that end, I started with "Men at Arms."In this outing, Pratchett introduces the semi-medieval community of Ankh-Morpork to the concept of fi...
