The eighth Discworld novel — After this, dragons will never be the same again!

This is where the dragons went. They lie . . . not dead, not asleep, but . . . dormant. And although the space they occupy isn’t like normal space, nevertheless they are packed in tightly. They could put you in mind of a can of sardines, if you thought sardines were huge and scaly. And presumably, somewhere, there’s a key . . .

    First Watch Book

    Probably not even PTerry was aware that he was creating the most versatile cast of characters in the Discworld history...

  • The first Watch book! aka the first Vimes book!
    Aww, Captain Vimes ♥
    Anyway, it's brilliant and beautiful, the characters are perfect and the plot interesting, and the only reason why I gave it 4 stars it's because I've read the newer discworld novels and I know this is not Pratchett's best.

    My first Discworld book: I loved it! It was hilarious, and great entertainment. Nice story, funny characters, and great usage of language, as per usual, with Terry Pratchett.

    It's a good way to get an introduction to the Discworld, so I surely recommend it for somebody who never read any of his books from this (super-long) series.

    I loved it, chuckled a lot, and at the same time I thought. I guess that's what I like about Pratchett's books: they're funny and entertaining, but in a very, very clever way.

  • Not just any noir novel

    This is one of my absolute favourites.

    This is one of my absolute favourites. From the shaping up of the City Watch, through the deranged Secret Society people, to Lady Ramkin, this novel is fit to carry a whole sub-series on its shoulders. The immense depth of the storytelling, the expertly detailed characters (human and otherwise) and the wry observations on what humans are really like all together make for a reading experience like few others.
