PRATCHETT JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER
Golems, the City Watch, and a whole lot of rampant
silliness. In this 19th Discworld novel Pratchett once again produces a
hilarious tale. Highly recommended !!!!!

He just keeps getting better !!
This is the best "Guards" book yet. Terry Pratchett
just keeps on getting better. This is book number 19 in the disc-world
series (yes it is count them). It amazes me that Terry Pratchett just keeps
on pumping the books out with no decline in the quailty or laughs. a great
book especially for readers of TP. If you are considering reading this
book as your first Disc-World book STOP. start from the being (The colour
of Magic)and enjoy the ride.

A Subtle Discworld - Grand Silliness and Quiet
Reflections
This book is a typical discworld in plot - insane,
bizarre, silly, the works. But what I really like is how Pratchett is filling
out his world and the characters. They are no longer quite is slick and
one dimensional as in the earliest novels. You get a good understanding
of how life is lived in Ankh-Morpork, how Carrot affects everyone around
him, the subtlies of Vimes - all of it.
But don't worry, the fun is still there. Can you actually imagine a female dwarf daring to be female (make-up, clothes, et al)? Or the obtusely literal-minded citizens of Ankh-Morpork (crests must be designed from life)?
Enjoy this book, but be cautious. If you don't particularly like reflecting on the serious as well as the silliness, you won't enjoy this book as much as some of the other Discworld novels.

hilarious and thoughtful, as are all of pratchetts
books
Pratchett delivered again. Feet of Clay is as
entertaining as all the discworld books and deals with issues of racial
and social equality in ways that only fantasy and humor are capable of
achieving. My only regret concerning Terry Pratchett is how poorly he is
marketed in the U.S. He deserves much more attention than he commonly gets.
I always enjoyed Douglas Adams (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) and
I put Pratchett head and shoulders above him. --This text refers to
