Men at Arms

Summary: Best of the lot
Review: I have all the Pratchett books, but this by far is the best of the bunch. Humourous, touching, clever, witty and highly readable this seems to be the peak of the discworld books. The Watch works well as a basis for the story, the members are developed into people, (or not as the case may be haha!) along with a few usual suspects, and the whole thing flows. After this i started to feel that the books were very same-ish, and lacked originality, but i have to say that Men at Arms will always be the one i recommend to people.

Summary: Funny and yet gripping
Review: This is the fifteenth book in Terry Pratchett's series on the Discworld--a flat world, supported on the backs of four massive elephants riding on the back of a planet-sized turtle. Anything hilarious can happen here, and eventually does.

Even as the Ankh-Morpork night watch is being expanded, a series of strange and probably interconnected murders takes place. The city is on the edge of a dwarf vs. troll race war, and the watch is only holding things together with their fingernails. There's a long buried secret being dug up, and it's going to cost far too many lives if Captain Samuel Vimes doesn't get to the bottom of things, and fast!

I have been a fan of Terry Pratchett of many years now, and consider him one of the master storytellers of this era. As with all of his books, this one is extremely funny, with a gripping storyline, and fascinating characters. If you like fantasy stories, and want a nice twist on the genre, or if you just like good humor, then I highly recommend that you get this book!
