Summary

An aura of mean-minded resentfulness is thick in the streets of Ankh-Morpork. Insurrection is in the air. The Haves and Have-Nots are about to fall out all over again. The Have-Nots want some of their own magic. But magic in the hands of amateurs is a dangerous thing.

The City Watch is the last line of defence against such unnatural goings-on. But when even the Watch have trouble telling right from wrong, you know that law and order ain't what they used to be. But that's all about to change.

Critic reviews

"Pratchett has a masterful ear for dialogue, a keen eye for the ridiculous, and a real feel for language." ( Time Out)

Tony Robinson

He has a huge repetoire of voices. I enjoyed those and the story itself was funny, have only recently started with Terry Pratchett.

Classic

Love it. I read the physical book many times over the years, so there were a couple of bits missing, but such is the way when books are converted to audio or video. Tony Robinson is always my goto narrator for discworld, highly recommended as a great start to discworld.

Proper LOL at times (abridged)

I do wish Tony Robinson had read the full version because I love listening to him read Terry Pratchett. Even though this is abridged it was excellent and really made me laugh out loud.
