Review - Thud!

Thud! by Terry Pratchett

Good bits: It's Pratchett! It's a watch book!

Interesting to see how Vimes works with a son.

Some very funny bits in there, and as usual the social commentary dominates the storyline.

Bad bits: Come on, Terry! That Captain Carrot storyline can't wait for ever. I'm almost close to saying that's enough books about Vimes. What about the other watchmen? They seem to have fallen to the sidelines of late.

Generally: It's Pratchett! Okay, this isn't his best book -- not even his best Watch book -- but it's still brilliant. It still beats the pants off any of the pretenders.

Buy it! Buy it now!
