Men at Arms

Summary: You'll laugh and maybe cry!!
Review: This was my first NightWatch book, though I'd vaguely known what to expect from Pratchett, having read Small Gods (brill!) and Good Omens (loved Crowley: a demon after my own heart). I loved how he (Pratchett) could hint at complex issues by saying so little. And I have to admit I was really intrigued by the Carrot/Angua situation. Even more, I just loved Carrot (that combination of innocence and strength gets me every time!). Have also read Guards! Guards!, which introduces Carrot (as you can see I'm a bit obsessed here) and Feet of Clay which goes further into the Carrot/Angua thing. Anybody else who likes Carrot, please drop me a line. Also if you know of other Discworld books with Carrot in it. Apart from Carrot, this is definitely a book to read!

Summary: laughed till it hurt
Review: This is the first Terry Pratchett book i ever read, and I'm hooked already. Sam Vimes and his City Watch are a group of indivduals I'm glad don't patrol streets here. The wide types of people (and trolls, dwarves, & werewolves), promise to make one laugh, especially Sam Vimes outlook on the resident's of Ankh-Morpork (everybody is guilty of something), and Carrot's simple approach to everything (everybody knows Carrot). If anyone knows of more books dealing with the watch, please let me know, and if you like Terry Pratchett, try Douglas Addams.

Summary: Ordinary Discworld Novel = Very Funny
Review: What can I say about this novel? First, as all other discworld novels this makes me laugh. City police try to struggle against crime and anarchy. However city guards aren't such "normal" police. They are trolls and dwarfs, everyone with their own characteristics. This novel is easy to read and very enjoyable where ever you are.

Summary: Fell of my bed laughing!
Review: This was the first Terry Pratchett novel I read. Now I have 10 others. This book was funny in so many ways. One of my favorite things is Mr. Pratchett's use of footnotes. The one about Bloody Stupid Johnson is the best! I highly recommend the whole Discworld series to every reader.

Summary: Marvelous!!!!
Review: Simply incredible and hilarious. I travel a lot by subway, and people just stared at me when my laughter filled the car. The trama carry the me so easily that I didn't notice where I was, and the characters try to jump from the book and say hello (things that happen in a book of Terry). A serious fantasy reader, is so relaxing to laugh with it.

Summary: Is there a better Discworld book????
Review: I've read like 10 Discworld books and I must say this is the best of them. Pratchett's irony and sarkasm is perfect in this book, and the writing is, as always, at top quality.

Summary: I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!
Review: This was the second book I read by Terry. Since then, I've loved Discworld books about Ankh-Morpork (and especially the night watch). To get the full effect, read Feet of Clay, then Jingo right after this one.

Summary: Let's not be careful out there - Ankh Morpork Guards
Review: One of the best Discworld novels. The Ankh-Morpork Watch is the most amazing set of policemen in the history of fiction. Beneath the not-so-thin veneer of hysterical humour, Pratchett's brilliant pen undercuts every possible literary (& other)genre & convention. As always, Pratchett's work makes you look at the world in a different way. This book will make you guffaw with laughter, but don't be surprised if there's a lump in your throat too.

Summary: AMNW Blue
Review: Terry Pratchett's got a very interesting writing style. He creates what are, at heart, very sweet and moving stories, cleverly disguised as Wodehousian satire. Men At Arms is no exception. The Ankh-Morpork Night Watch have quickly become my favorite Discworld characters, and this is their best adventure thus far. (Also recommended are Guards! Guards! and Feet of Clay.) Buy it.
