About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

'The people next door oppress me all night long. I tell them, I work all day, a man's got to have some time to learn to play the tuba. That's oppression, that is. If I'm not under the heel of the oppressor I don't know who is.'

An aura of mean-minded resentfulness is thick in the streets of Ankh-Morpork. Insurrection is in the air. The Haves and Have-Nots are about to fall out all over again. The Have-Nots ant some of their own magic. But magic in the hands of amateurs is a dangerous thing.

The City Watch is the last line of defence against such unnatural goings-on. But when even the Watch have trouble telling Right from Wrong, you know that Law and Order ain't what it used to be. But that's all about to change...

Critic Reviews

"Pratchett has a masterful ear for dialogue, a keen eye for the ridiculous, and a real feel for language." (Time Out)

The only reason I'm not giving it full marks is that it's a very abridged version. The Night Watch series is my absolute favourite, read it hunderds of times, so missing sentences or chunks of dialogues in this abridged version disagree with me. Tony Robison's voice is wonderful, although I'm used to and very like Nigel Planer's version as well - they are both masters.

I love it but MUCH prefer the unabridged
