Au Guet !

This book came highly recommended as an entry point into Terry Pratchett's Discworld. I found the characters and story humorous, but it felt like a bit of a slog to get through. I eventually found the humour a bit repetitive, although the story was tied up somewhat nicely at the end.

I am curious if it is worth giving the DiscWorld City Watch series another shot. Are there any better entry points to the series as a whole?

What can I say, I have read this book multiple times and it still draws me in and I find new ideas and jokes every time. Its a great place to start reading Discworld novels.

Re-Reading some old friends. I still get misty thinking on how Sir Terry left us too soon, but to quote someone-or-other ‘a man is not dead while his name is still spoken’.

Dragons do not exist any more... or do they? Kings no longer rule Ankh-Morpork but maybe monarchy is not dead... yet. Maybe all it takes is someone to kill a dragon and become the king. But what if the dragon does not want to go because it rather enjoys the city? Captain Vimes and his squad are in charge of bringing common sense to the people, but the task may be too hot for them.

I loved, loved, loved this book! I may have fallen in love with every main character, even with the "propulsion" dragon. I laughed way too much! But as always, Pratchett knows exactly how to infuse the story the story with humans and their human silliness. What a great book!
