Product Description

Product Description

It's an offer you can't refuse. Who would not 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 Mintruns 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 lot 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!

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)      
I have been a fan of the great TP for a long time and a fan of the audio books of discworld. I should declare now that I prefer Tony Robinson to the other readers, but he only does the abridged versions which is a real shame and a loss to the unabridged versions.

The full version of this book is available but only at a much more expensive price for the multi disc version. The one disc MP3 version is available but there may be a playing problem if you want to listen to them as you travel and you don't have an MP3 compatable player. Also on the tracks that have more than ten sections it starts on section 10 instead of section 1, and the announcement of the "chapter tasters" is truly annoying - but that's irrelevant to this disc set.

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 stomething 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).

It always seems to me that Tony Robinson (unlike Nigel Planer who read the earlier unabridged works) must be a discworld fan - his character vocalisations are special, his emphasis on certain words and phrases shows that he 'gets' the Pratchett humour (again, unlike the awful monotone Nigel Planer, who alternated between his normal voice and a very bat scouse accent for characters). Overall listening to Tony Robinson reading Discworld is a pleasure.

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.

I wish that Corgi Audio would decide that Discworld fans are worth the extra time and effort of unabridged, Robinson read, discworld audio books.

1.0 out of 5 stars BEWARE: ABRIDGED, 16 Oct 2007
By Joseph Hodgson "Joe" (Madrid) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Nowhere on the description of this audiobook on Amazon is there any mention of the fact that it is abridged and is not in fact a narration of the book as in, for example, Harry Potter, but essentially only a summary, being only 4 cds long. The reading by Tony Robinson is superb, but I would recommend anybody who wants the proper full version to buy the unabridged version (Stephen Briggs, Harper Audio) for another 8 US dollars.
Basically a great book was ruined by the felling of having been totally ripped off: Amazon - please show clearly when an audiobook is abridged or risk your customers feeling conned!

5.0 out of 5 stars Terry Pratchett and Tony Robinson, What a Team, 15 Feb 2008
By J. Chippindale (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   

Terry Pratchett was born in 1948 and is one of the most popular authors writing today. He lives behind a keyboard in Wiltshire and says he 'doesn't want to get a life, because it feels as though he's trying to lead three already'. He was appointed OBE in 1998. He is the author of the phenomenally successful Discworld series

There is just no other author about who writes like Terry Pratchett. His humour is second to none. There are one or two writers who are trying to get close to him, but failing miserably. Making money is the latest book in the Discworld series, taking us once again to the streets of Ankh-Morpork. Streets frequented by Werewolves, Zombies, Vampires, Trolls and of course to keep everyone in line patrolled by the men of the Watch, under the scrutiny of their leader Vimes.

For those who prefer to listen to their Discworld tales rather than read them, the voice of Tony Robinson is perfect to set the scene for the wackiest world in space. As the other reviewers have pointed out this is an abridged version but still worth having and listening to.

Everyone, with any sense would love to be able to make money and to be in charge of the Ankh-Morpork's Royal Mint is a dream come true. This is the theme for the latest Discworld novel and everything is in place for it to be a winner. Regular Pratchett reader's will be beating the door down to buy this book and for those (there must be somebody) who have not read any Discworld books. Treat yourself, you won't regret it.

Book is good but credit to the retailer, it was advertised as used but arrived within two days new, not second hand.

I'll write an abridged review because the audiobook is an abridged version. There's something quite bizarre about an abridged version of a Terry Pratchett book. Read more
