  Another gem from Pratchett. Commander Vimes is a great character, and the rag-tag bunch of misfits and barely human - and indeed, non-human - oddities that make up his team of the City Watch make this a fun read.

  As usual Pratchett satirizes the mundane reality of our everyday life and here there is added interest because the book is a barely disguised parody on the War on Terrorism or, as others know it, the war between the Christian West and Muslims everywhere.

  The laughs come thick and fast while reading this one. It is laced with action, bound by tight plotting, and interwoven with pearls of humour: all-in-all a veritable fashion show for your brain. You need not have heard of Discworld or to have previously quaffed Pratchett's particuliar brand of Old Peculiar humour in order to fully enjoy Jingo.
