Terry Pratchett - Making Money


Rating: 5/5

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.
