Book Review: Men at Arms by Terry Pratchett

Author: Terry Pratchett
Title: Men at Arms
Publication Info: Victor Gollancz Ltd, 1993
Summary/Review:

The Night Watch is back, but Captain Samuel Vimes is retiring to lead a life of luxury married to Lady Sybil Ramkin. Before he departs, new recruits are brought in, including a troll, a dwarf, and a woman.  The woman is actually also a werewolf, Angua, who becomes a love interest to Carrot.  Under Carrot’s increasingly competent leadership, the Night Watch begins investigating a series of murders among the guilds of Ankh-Morpork, including the Assassin’s Guild and the Clown’s Guild.  It’s a funny and intricately plotted novel with a lot of great characters and dialogue.  And it’s no spoiler to say that Vimes doesn’t actually get to retire as he becomes commander of a suddenly more respectable City Watch.

Book Review: Guards! Guards! by Terry Pratchett

Author: Terry Pratchett
Title: Guards! Guards!
Publication Info: Gollancz, 1989
Summary/Review:

In the first installment of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch series of Discworld novels, the tall human raised by dwarfs Carrot joins as a new recruit.  Carrot is very literal and by the book, but his arrival brings a new sense of idealism to the corrupted Night Watch lead by Sam Vimes.  At this time a secret monastic order is plotting to overthrow the Patrician who governs Ankh-Morpork by summoning a dragon and then have their puppet slay the dragon and become king.  Things go awry when the dragon burns down wide swathes of the city and declares itself king instead.  In this hilarious and clever story, the Night Watch – and their tiny dragon mascot Erroll – have to summon the heroism to save the city.

So I'm still on FB (there are reasons) and every now and then someone comes onto the Discworld pages I follow and say things like

"Hey I saw they made a tv show about the Watch, is it any good?"

Ahhh the rage

expanding from #copwatch to #citywatch

because alderman titles dont mean you're invincible and city hall doesn't mean center of the world

#federalwatch is canceled because that *is* the electoral college.
