Il Gobb Male, 29, In a relationship. Roma, Italy

Moist is back!

Not at the same height of "Going Postal", but it is funny and gets better at the end.

Vetinari, this time, absolutely does not charge Moist Von Lipwig with running the biggest bank in Ankh-Morpork.
The Man in the Golden Suit will face an ugly and funny dog with a rather... unappropriate toy, an army of golems, an accountant who can't do a mistake, several tons of gold and this new invention that does not need metals to run an economy: "banknotes".

Add an Igor, Adora Belle Dearheart, an outstanding Lord Vetinari and a fool who'd like to be him, shake well and go laugh and think at once and the same time ^_______^

PS: oh, it is good also for another reason. If you want an inside look on what makes the world go round, if you want to understand on what our economy is based, read it. Simple and unaccurate, but really revealing and thought-provoking :) ... (continue)

"The Colour of Magic" plus "The Light Fantastic" in a single book, signed by pTerry (I've already ordered a signed copy of "Making Money", too! ^___^)

"Spice Planet" is interesting, even if clearly minor in front of the real Dune... but it's Frank Herbert, and it's fine ^________^

The rest is pure bliss for the fan ;)

Not as much intriguing as the previous.
This book is a poor attempt with a severe lack of deep considerations.
The grand themes of Dune are here reduced to an awkward blablabla about superhumans with superpowers doing impossibile things just as they wish, without a satisfying explanation.
All is devised as the classic, "black&white" conflict between opposites forces, with none of the subtleties that Frank Herbert was so fond of.

Here Herbert's spirit and intentions seem to me poorly considered, and the novel brings quite nothing of the previous political complexity that even some of the prequels have.

Ah, and a lot of questions unanswered >__<

Worth reading just if you (like me ^__^) WANT SO BAD to know how the two (B. Herbert and Anderson) have envisioned what Herbert had meant DUNE to be.
Sigh, such a waste... ... (continue)
