Review:
One of Pratchett's best
This is another Pratchett classic, I think. It's best to read Going Postal first but it
can be read on its own; here Moist von Lipwig takes on the finance sector and
Pratchett gives us a typically witty but penetrating look at what banking and
money are and how they work, wrapped in a hugely enjoyable and often very funny
narrative. Moist himself is a wonderful
character, as is Adora Belle Dearheart, Vetinari is on outstanding form,
there's an Igor and even cameo appearances from Carrot and Detritus…what more
could you possibly want?
After at least two re-reads, this is still one of Sir
Terry's best, in my view. There isn't a
much higher recommendation than that.
