Terry Pratchett: Making Money

Not exactly a disappointment because Terry Pratchett is (nearly) always good reading value, but Moist von Lipwig is not one of my favourite characters and banking offers even less opportunities for thrilling adventures than the post office. Still, Pratchett is Pratchett and this gave me plenty of gentle amusement if no laugh out loud moments. I do hope Vetinari's comment about letting Moist loose on the tax gatherers is not the portent of a book to come. Please, Terry, can we have another one about Vimes, Vetinari and the Guards, or maybe another Witches book, with or without Tiffany Aching.

This one felt like it was reusing themes from Going Postal, and Going Postal was by far the better book (in fact, GP is one of his very best in my view).

I'm not mad keen on Moist, I just liked the way he used the clacks system in the story.
