4.0 out of 5 stars Not one of his best - but not the worst either, 30 Oct 2007
By Susan Belcher "Su B" (St Helens, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
Making money is not one of Mr Pratchett's best works - in fact it appeared rushed to cash in on the run on the Northern Rock Bank, not his usual smooth work.

I have to say I was disappointed on first reading the book, I then listened to my discs and I liked the book more. There's something about a listening to someone reading me a story that takes me back to a less stressful time (that Jackanory moment when I was a child and the troubles of the world were far, far away).

This story is not going to rank in my top twenty discworld stories but it isn't at the bottom of the list either.

It could be that the new Moist book came too soon on top of the Going Postal, that it would have been better if Mr Pratchett had returned to the Watch, or the Witches, or UU's faculty and Rincewind, or even Death, before moving back to Moist so quickly. Yet, for all its faults and similiarities to Going Postal, the Making Money story is a good one, even if it is lacking in the usual Pratchett polish.

5.0 out of 5 stars Making Money = Making Pleasure, 30 Dec 2008
By SuperConsumer "Tony Sell" (Milton Keynes United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Making Money (Discworld Novels) (Mass Market Paperback)
While some may say it doesn't live up to Terry's past works I would dissagree. I found it wonderful!
In the same way that we've been able to follow Sam Vimes through his adventures and growth we can now see how falling out with Lord Vetinari Havelock has a longer lasting effect than one might think. Rather than just a one adventure wonder we see how Mr Von Lipwig applies his very special skills to an even greater challenge.
I found the storyline good and as always Terry has you in there living every moment. As always the story appears over two thirds of the way through but as always the final twist has you entrapped so you can't put it down.
For me an excellant addition to the Discworld series and one I can reread again and again so excellant value as always!

5.0 out of 5 stars fortuitous mistake, 15 Oct 2007
I bought this book as a complete mistake. I treated myself to it in a flurry of self-help/popular psychology books, after reading a great book called Making Time, assuming it would be something similar.
In my ignorance, I'd never read any Terry Pratchett before. But I've enjoyed this a lot. It's so entertaining and easy to read and full of great ideas. If his other books are better that this, I'll have to read them too.
