Summary: this would make a great movie
Review: hollywood take notice!! a movie idea like this only comes along once a century. i have read nearly half of the discworld novels and each one has been better than the last. i would be hard pressed to pick a favorite, but men at arms would be up there among the top. great characters, excellent plot twists, and a host of unforgetable one-liners. but what impressed me the most as i read each page was what a great movie men at arms would make. i could almost see a cgi created acting constable detritus. if you are new to the discworld series make men at arms your next read.

Summary: A High Point in the Pratchett Output
Review: I've read most of Pratchett's novels, in publication order, up to the most recent handful, and this is by far my favorite, along with INTERESTING TIMES. The City Guard of Ankh-Morpork is a happy concept, and all the books about the Guards are way above Pratchett's average.Imagine a police procedural in which very few of the policemen are human. Comic book writer Alan Moore currently has a series which takes this to the n-th degree... none of the policemen are human, and no two are alike: TOP TEN. If you want to try a Pratchett novel, try GUARDS, GUARDS! or MEN AT ARMS or FEET OF CLAY. Excellent introductions to his "cosmos" and to his unique style of wit. "DON'T SALUTE!!!" (You'll learn why.)

Summary: My first Pratchett book -- I'm hooked!
Review: A well-crafted, sharp-witted tale that will be especially appealing to anyone who has ever read Tolkien and his ilk. Discworld is at once absurd and complex, yet held against the fabric of our reality, it's just as plausible. I'm hard pressed to think of a more likable character than Corporal Carrot. The modest anti-gun message was subtle enough to remain unobtrusive.

Summary: The Best Of The City Watch Books
Review: In my opinion Men at Arms is the best of the Watch novels. It was a great sequel to Guards,Guards and I really looked forward to reading it at the time. I enjoyed the introduction of the new members in the Watch since it gave the book a bit more variety. The plot between Carrot and Angua was also intriguing at the time. Im a big fan of Terry in general but the Watch( Commander Vimes in particular ) hold a special place in my heart. Keep up the good work Terry, your doing a great job.

Summary: best diskworld book yet
Review: I have read 5 of his books and this is the best. The way he combines trolls, dwarves, werewolves, and the talking dog gaspode into one hilarious book is amazing. I've love every one of his books that contains the watch. The book has the usual twist of stupid trolls, a species rivalry, and an honest cop who is promoted to Corrpral Carrot, adopted (human) son of dwarves. P.S. How many more time is Vimes about to quit the watch?

Summary: good book from damn good writer
Review: The Disc World series is ... very very good. But what can i read now? I've gone through a Dave Barry phase... experimented with a variety of other humor... Thurber... it's going to be hard to find another author as enjoyable as Pratchett.

Summary: Laughed till I hurt
Review: I loved this book! Men at Arms is the second Pratchett Novel I have read the first being Feet of Clay. I found everything in this book to be creative and hilarious the dog talking dog Gaspode especially. Prattchett and his wonderful creation discworld teach people that a story can be entertaing without dirty words and sex.

Summary: A funny yet moral page turner set in a really engaging city
Review: This book was the first Discworld novel I read and it convinced me into reading Pratchett. He is so unlike an other author others have compared him to such as Grant Naylor or Douglas Adams. Had I heeded such comments forever I would have missed out on a real treat.
