Book Reviews of Making Money (Discworld)
Book Review: Don't set your bar high
Summary: 3 Stars
I have been a reader of Terry Pratchett since I read the Good Omen a decade ago. I do think he is one of the world's funniest writers, while at the same time one who hits our cultural quirks right on the head. So it was with great anticipation that I waited for this book.
I have to say I am disappointed. I don't know if I've just read him too much, if the subject wasn't interesting, if he'd strayed too far from the original idea for the series, or if my favorite character DEATH was not included. I just couldn't get into this one. I feel horrible for having to write a poor review, but it just didn't strike me as interesting, or even funny. Think I'll go back to a few of his earlier ones to relight my enthusiasm and maybe come back to this again. But I'd suggest other fans not set their bar very high.
Book Review: Hooray! for the return of Moist van Lipwig!
Summary: 5 Stars
Hooray! for the return of Moist van Lipwig!
Fresh from turning around the Ankh Morpork post office in Going Postal, Moist is impressed into service in the Mint - ergo the title, Making Money.
Don't you love it? So literal. . .
Pratchett's on comfortable ground in Discworld, but never allows that to translate to laziness - Making Money delivers at least 50% more than you pay.
Unmissable Discworld action.
