Ab die Post

I confess that 'Going Postal' was never one of my favourite of the Discworld novels but re-reading it for the first time (I think) since I first bought it revealed some nice bits of Pratchett humour which I'd forgotten. The passing references to the gods particularly amused me. I'm still not convinced that Moist von Lipwig is one of his best heroes but I do have 'Making Money' to hand, which also features him, so I'll give that a go and see if Terry can convince me.

One of my favourite Discworld books so far! It is funny as usual, but also incredibly deep and touching and smart and weirdly political as well. The golems have become complex characters, pondering freedom and happiness. The swindler must be good to keep up the facade of being good. The postal system faces technology and hackers are involved in its downfall that implies a rescue and rejuvenation of the system itself.
Definitely Terry Pratchett at his very best! Will be returning to this one for sure.

Very funny snarky fantasy that's a blast in the way it all comes together.
