'Be a MAN in the City Watch! The City Watch needs MEN!'

Media Reviews
'Funny, wise and mock heroic...The funniest and best crafted book I have read all year' * Sunday Express *
'Like Jonathan Swift, Pratchett uses his other world to hold up a distorting mirror to our own, and like Swift he is a satirist of enormous talent ... incredibly funny ... compulsively readable' * The Times *
'His spectacular inventiveness makes the Discworld series one of the perennial joys of modern fiction' * Mail on Sunday *
'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 * New York Times *
'Persistently amusing, good-hearted and shrewd' * Sunday Times *
