Rating: Summary: GREAT BOOK, GREAT CHARACTERS Review: I've read several of Pratchett's and this is one of the best. I especially like Vimes's character. I like the stories with the watch. They have great plots and great characters. The characters ARE the best part. I could identify with the main characters, but even the smaller parts were great. Characters like Wee Mad Arthur and Constable Downspout the gargoyle make the book hilarious and worth while to read. Also the little footnmotes were great. They were also funny in this and all his books. One of the best Discworld books.
Rating: Summary: You won't be able to put it down! Review: Funny, witty, and provoking. Just one great book in a whole series of great books. P.S. I'm nothing to do with the publishers!
Rating: Summary: How does he do it? Review: You'd think after more than a dozen Discworld books, the quality would be slipping. But no, Terry Pratchett just keeps getting better. "Feet of Clay" may be humor, but it has wonderful characterization and a strong murder mystery plot.
Rating: Summary: Still Great, but missing that Pratchett touch in a few ways Review: Terry Pratchett remains high lord of all fantasy humor with Feet of Clay. The golems are fresh and interesting characters and the city watch has always been my favorite storyline, but some meanderings into repetitive political discussions and continuity flaws tend to leave the reader high and dry at several areas in this otherwise brilliant novel. Could anyone please tell me what happened to Detritus' cooling helmet?
Rating: Summary: So-so humor Review: When Pratchett is on, he's hilarious. Often though he goes pages without forcing as much as a chuckle, and this book is no exception. While I've heard him compared to Douglas Adams, I don't find him to measure up - still, I have yet to see anyone mix fantasy and humor as well (plus some mystery thrown in in this story). His understanding of theology seems limited, but his writing is funny enough that I thought the book worth its cost.
Rating: Summary: THE best of the Discworld series is here! Review: First, ther are people who haven't read Pratchett and people who worship Pratchett. As it is sasid he is the best humorous writer of this century and it especially comes out in this book. Besides usual puns and jokes he even manages to make it all unpredictable. It isn't just a funny book to read but it even puts you live through the hardships of minorities in Ankh-Morpok or you find yourself thnking "oh, he/she can't die, it isn't possible" or sth. like that. If there's going to be a trip to Discworld then count me in!
Rating: Summary: his worst discworld novel Review: All of my favorite discworld characters were missing from this novel and I found the plot, at times, confusing and uninteresting.
Rating: Summary: Brilliant simply brilliant! Review: I have always liked the character of Vimes and the Guard stories and this is simply amazing it will make you laugh it will make you think but most of all it will leave you wanting more.I read it while visting London for a few days and completed very quickly it was so addictive!Just read it and you'll see.
Rating: Summary: Okay Review: First of all, let me get one thing clear: I like Terry Pratchett books. That said, this is my opinion.
This is quite a good book, make no mistake. Some things may have a little more meaning to those who have read earlier Pratchett offerings, but in general, quite good. However, I do not really go for books that push the "racial tolerance" or "anti-industrial" lines. No anti-industrialisms in here, but racial tolerance coming out of the book's ears. Don't get me wrong- I'm not a neo-Nazi or something, but it does get annoying. Anyway: Terry Pratchett's Feet of Clay- good book. By the way, golems rule.
Rating: Summary: Woo! You'll love this book! Review: When people start to drop dead in the bustling town of Ankh-Morpork, in steps the Watch to maintain peace. But sometimes it is a challenge... Commander Vimes is faced with golems, vampires, werewolves, dwarf artificers, dragons, and (worst of all) aristocracy in this rollicking blend of perfect murder-mystery and unassuming, universal humor that turns into a parody and a fresh, great book. You should love this book if you have a brain and a sense of humor.
