Product Description

Product Description

Be a MAN in the City Watch! The City Watch needs MEN! (or dwarves or trolls or gargoyles or ...) The City Watch is a bumper volume in which those noble defenders of Ankh-Morpork, the greatest city of the Discworld*, come face to face with some of the most heinous crimes in history. GUARDS! GUARDS! Sees some night-time prowler turning (mostly) honest citizens into something resembling small charcoal biscuits. In MEN AT ARMS, there's a murder to be solves so that the world-weary Captain Vimes can be married at noon and retire happily ever after. And in the Discworld Howdunnit FEET OF CLAY, someone is murdering harmless old men and poisoning the Patrician ...and the golems are committing suicide ... *Which is flat and rides through space on the back of four elephants who stand on the shell of an enormous turtle, as everyone knows.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Watch - Discworld style, 15 Nov 2000
By A Customer
I have read these books individually several times and they are my favorites. I am an all-around Discworld fan but especially a Watch fan. The static characters (Colon, Nobby, Lady Sybil) are always great and the dynamic characters (Vimes, Carrot, ¡Angua!) are even better. These are people you can get to know and love. Don't forget to pick up The Fifth Elephant too. What's good about this book? The comedy isn't cheap, it's thoughtful. It's an honest book with entertaining and so-true insights into human behavior. Give these books a chance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Watch out - The Watch is about., 4 Aug 2004
By J. Glen "Jeanette Glen" (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This book is a most enjoyable compilation of three of Terry Pratchett's books about the Ankh-Morpork City Watch. It is achingly funny, poignant and sarcastic, sometimes all three at the same time.

The books trace the adventures of Captain Vimes, Corporal Carrott, who is the tallest dwarf in the known universe, (to understand why this is, you will have to read the stories) and the rest of Ank-Morpork's finest. The finest what, is up to each reader to decide for themselves, heavy hint, they are not Sherlock Holmes clones, but they somehow get the job done,

If you have not read any of the author's other books you could do worse than start with this one. I admit to a slight prejudice here, the City Watch books are my favourite, (though all the others are equally good) reading them allways brings a smile to the face, and the not so occasional guffaw to the lips.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pratchett is the best writer, ever!, 9 Jun 2000
By A Customer
This book was so gripping. When I first read it, I had not actually read many books before, sticking to my comics and such. It set my firm love for Discworld in concrete. What can I say? The book's characters are great, humourous and add their own little bit to the story. The story itself was an interresting one and I have to admit I dint get the ending of the book. It is a funny crime novel, set in the world of discworld. A brilliant combination.
