Summary: A great effort
Review: Jingo was a good laugh, and fun and easy to read. As usual with a Pratchett novel, the laughs come fast and furious, although I found this novel to be a little lighter on story than most of his others. However I would recommend it, especially if you have never read a Discworld novel before. Bravo!

Summary: This series needs to lie fallow for about a decade
Review: In yet another installment of the interminable Discworld series, Terry Pratchett describes Ankh-Morpork's war with a better-armed and better-prepared neighbor. Though he was once the funniest author writing, Jingo shows further degeneration in Pratchett's creativity and ability, probably the result of seriously overfarming the series.Pratchett has reached the stage in his career where no idea is too weak or too small to be made into a novel. The entire plot of Jingo would have merited a two-line reference or a two-paragraph footnote in one of the best books in the series. In fact, it *did* get used briefly in Guards, Guards. And that is where it should have stayed. The novel drags on through recycled characters and trite plot lines, never really picking up speed, certainly never producing a real laugh. The only consolation prize for the truly determined reader who manages to finish the thing is Pratchett's always masterful command of the language. Reading each new Pratchett novel is like watching the inexorable process of a terminal illness. Jingo is no exception. At this point, perhaps the only kind thing to do is put the series to sleep.

Summary: One of his best books
Review: I have read all of Terry Pratchett's Diskworld books and I have to say that I believe this is one of the best! I found it different from many of the others and certainly it had a more serious twist to it, but the humour and lightness found in his other books is still there. One to re-read!!

Summary: Terry Pratchett is as good as ever! Brilliant!
Review: In the tradition of his marvelous Discworld series, Terry Pratchett has once again excelled himself with this scathingly funny view of war between two countries. Sometimes hitting uncomfortably close to home, Pratchett pokes fun at the stupidity of war, and the leaders of those countries who rush Gung-ho into the fray. Subtle humour that can result in very unsubtle guffaws of laughter! Lots of fun...

Summary: ONE OF THE BEST!
Review: One of the best books out by Terry Pratchett, Jingo is a gem

Summary: Pratchett bags another one!!
Review: Well, Terry has done it again. I firmly believe that he looks at the universe about three degrees out of phase with the rest of us, and the results are wonderful. Another in a long line of successes for Terry - I can't wait for the next!

Summary: Give me more!
Review: Although I got hooked on the Discworld serie after reading Pyramids, this is the first book I've bought. This was probably the best buy I've ever made. At the moment I'm reading Jingo for the second time, and am still enjoying it as much as the first time. Its an understatement to say the no book has given me so much enjoyment as this one. I've caught myself waking up in the morning looking forward to the train ride to work so I can finally continue reading. This book is a must for every man, woman, child, dwarf, troll, werewolf, golem... oh, lets not forget Nobby. And to Mr. Pratchett I can say only one thing: I want more!!!!!

Summary: Yet another witty and thought provoking book.
Review: Before the publication of this book, channel four in Britain did an interview with Terry. He said this book was about "the pointlessness of war". For me, this beautifully somes up the book. It is amusing, in a subtle way, and occasionally warrants an out burst of laughter, but not often. That would be too vulgar. Just a smile is sufficient. It is also amazingly thought provoking . It makes me wonder, as with all Terry's books, whether it is secretly based on some unsuspecting war in the depths of history. I can imagine the author laughing at us for thinking he made it up. I think Terry Pratchett is one of the most readable authors in print today, even forever. He once said he "writes for anyone who can hold the books". I think this means anyone aged 10 to 100 can read them. Ralph Evins, Age 14.

Summary: What a book!
Review: Eventhough I have found it hatd to read, as it has not been translated into French yet, the only thing I can say about it is that I'm completely mad about it! I have hardly ecer read such a good book in my entire life! Keep on doing such a good job Master Pratchett, bringing us joy.. And making us discover more and more about the Discworld's people... And please, Mr Couton, hurry translating those books!
