'The work of a prolific humorist at his best' Observer

The Discworld is very much like our own - if our own were to consist of a flat planet balanced on the back of four elephants which stand on the back of a giant turtle, that is . . .
____________________

'Sorry?' said Carrot. If it's just a thing, how can it commit murder? A sword is a thing' - he drew his own sword; it made an almost silken sound - 'and of course you can't blame a sword if someone thrust it at you, sir.'

For Commander Vimes, Head of Ankh-Morpork City Watch, life consists of troubling times, linked together by...well, more troubling times.

Right now, it's the latter. There's a werewolf with pre-lunar tension in the city, and a dwarf with attitude and a golem who's begun to think for itself, but that's just ordinary trouble. The real problem is more puzzling - people are being murdered, but there's no trace of anything alive having been at the crime scene.

So Vimes not only has to find out whodunit, but howdunit too. He's not even sure what they dun. But soon as he knows what the questions are, he's going to want some answers.

Critic Reviews

'Like reading Tolkien but with gags - and good gags too'

'The great Terry Pratchett, whose wit is metaphysical, who creates an energetic and lively secondary world, who has a multifarious genius for strong parody ... who deals with death with startling originality. Who writes amazing sentences'

(A.S. Byatt)

'His spectacular inventiveness makes the Discworld series one of the perennial joys of modern fiction'

'The work of a prolific humorist at his best'
'Like most true originals, Pratchett defies categorisation...Deliciously and amiably dotty...Driven by Swiftian logic and equally intellectually inventive'
'Fantastical, inventive and finally serious...It's enjoyable as crime fiction, but the real attraction is the laughter waiting to be uncovered on each page'
'An explosion of imaginative lunacy'

As much as I like Tony Robinson, I think I’ve grown accustomed to Nigel Planer and his characterisation of the Watch. It was especially disconcerting for Carrot and Vimes. I’ll have to stick to the Planer versions whenever possible, at least for the City Watch books

Feet of Clay is a classic Pratchett whodunit.

The story is well read and characters voiced by Tony Robinson. Audio allows me to enjoy following the plot while doing other things, such as driving or cooking.

A great way to visit Ankh-Morpork without a suitcase of penicillin

In this excellent book Terry Pratchett explores what makes a person a person and not a thing whilst plots and crimes abound in the city of Ank-Morpork.
The city guards are back and this time things are getting even weirder, the Golems of the city are acting strange and it's up to the city guards to get to the bottom of it! This book is great fun and the character of previous books keep getting richer and more interesting with each new addition. A must read.
