"Still good."
3 stars"

Terry Pratchett's dis­cworld novels are generally light-hearted and fun. They often contain a deeper message about our modern world (global economic crisis?), but you can ignore that if you want.

This is the second discworld novel starring Moist Von Lipwig, the first being Going Postal. It continues in a similar vein to the first, so if you liked that (as I did), you'll probaby like this.

Nothing groundbreaking, but def enjoyable.

Description

It's an offer you can't refuse. Who would not to wish to be the man in charge of Ankh-Morpork's Royal Mint and the bank next door? It's a job for life. But, as former con-man Moist von Lipwig is learning, the life is not necessarily for long. The Chief Cashier is almost certainly a vampire. There's something nameless in the cellar (and the cellar itself is pretty nameless), it turns out that the Royal Mint runs at a loss. A 300 year old wizard is after his girlfriend, he's about to be exposed as a fraud, but the Assassins Guild might get him first. In fact lots of people want him dead. Oh! And every day he has to take the Chairman for walkies. Everywhere he looks he's making enemies. What he should be doing is ...Making Money!

Accolades:

Locus Award Winner 2008

Review:

"..the finest satirical series running. If you've never read a Discworld novel, what's the matter with you?" (The Guardian), "As bright and shiny as a newly minted coin; clever, engaging and laugh-out-loud funny." (The Times).
