About this listen

 "Neighbours...hah! People'd live for ages side by side, nodding at one another amicably on their way to work, and then some trivial thing would happen, and someone would be having a garden fork removed from their ear."

Throughout history, there's always been a perfectly good reason to start a war. Never more so if it is over a "strategic" piece of old rock in the middle of nowhere. It is, after all, every citizen's right to bear arms to defend what they consider to be their own. Even if it isn't. And in such pressing circumstances, you really shouldn't let small details like the absence of an army - or indeed the money to finance one - get in the way of a righteous fight with all the attendant benefits of out-and-out nationalism.

I love the way Tony Robinson brings all the characters to life. With all the characters having their own voices, which remain consistent throughout the whole discworld series. an incredible talent. If I see his name on an audio book I know it's going to be good. I'd love to hear him read more books.

Tony Robinson is a incredible narrator

I brought a book I’ve read before and dearly loved. I got half a book. And where I got excited for a good bit coming up, it wasn’t there at all!

No

Heavily abridged and missing the best humour
