Terry Pratchett
Comedy / Fantasy
Discworld novels are in danger of being taken for granted. It is only when you read the book after a discworld novel that you realize how damm god they are. Thud is a Night Watch / Sam Vimes novel and continues in the fine traditions of these novels with the Watch expanding to accept even more types of coppers. The back of the Hardcover is an advertisement for the children’s novel that Sam Vimes reads to his son (“Where’s my cow?”) and I can see that coming out as well.
The story deals with relations between dwarves and trolls and is all good fun, my only concern is that discworld technology will overtake our technology very soon. The ‘Gooseberry’ PDA that Sam uses has ‘Bluenose™’ Integrated Messenger Service to interface with the clacks towers, which is a little twee.
Terry Pratchett books are like chocolate, you always consume them too fast and then desperately want more.
