Review # 1 was written on 2009-06-29 00:00:00 Christopher Mccoin In my opinion, this is the book where Pratchett *really* hits his stride in terms of the city watch books. The characters are established, the setting is solid, and Pratchett is solidly in control of his craft here. As I said before (or at least meant to say) the second book about the city watch was twice as good as the first. Similarly, this book is twice as good as the second one. Putting it solidly in the familiar A+ quality book that comprises easily half of Pratchett's work. Of personal interest to me is the introduction of the Golem into the Discworld. In previous books, Pratchett has talked about issues of discrimination, but the Golems allow him to broaden the subject into a much larger discussion along the lines of "What makes a person a person?" and perhaps more importantly "What sort of person should a person be?" It's also interesting to note the appearance of Buggy Squires who is called a Gnome. But for those who have read the entire series, he's obviously a precursor to the Nac Mac Feagles that eventually appear in the Tiffany aching books. As an author, it's cool for me to see how that concept peeked its head up in Pratchett's work almost 10 years before it became fully realized in a much later book.... Is this book worth your time? Yes. A thousand times yes.
