Summary: The best yet . . .
Review: Pterry here has managed to be not only funny but serious. Carrot comes across a bit too stereotypically, but Vimes is the most human of the characters, indeed one of the most human of teh series. There are indeed Tolkien references, (and also Casablanca! Note the flickering sign outside Vimes's window - so traditional it's very hard to leave out, but stil . . . )

Lady Ramkin is still a tad flat (She doesn't come into her own, really, until Jingo) but her relationship with Vimes is very well done, and very . . . there. It wrenches at you. It's one of the best parts of the book. (i think that the Patrician's view on life, as explained to Vimes, is even better, but I'm a real Vetinari fan.)

If you haven't read any other Discworld books yet, START HERE. (or possily at Mort.) t's the best in the series, excepting Jingo, which builds too much on it to be a starting point. My only reget when I read this was that I had read Men at Arms and Feet of Clay before I got my hand! s on it.

Summary: The humanistic side of Discworld
Review: The better of Mr. Pratchett's books contain more than a jot of commentary on human nature, and a strongly ethical bent. "Guards! Guards!" covers the ground quite well, in the vein of "Catch-22" and the Retief series by Keith Laumer, and adds a dose of Machiavellian manuvering. Excellent and quite accesible!

Summary: All time tops--only....
Review: This book is probably one of the all time sidesplitters, even for Pratchett...and I thought The Light Fantastic was funny.... Only regret? IT HASN"T BEEN REPRINTED and I've read my copy to DEATH....everyone hound the publishers, PLEASE!! We NEED more copies of this to go with Men At Arms! It is, after all, the foundation of ALL the Watch books...
