'The people next door oppress me all night long. I tell them, I work all day, a man's got to have some time to learn to play the tuba. That's oppression, that is. If I'm not under the heel of the oppressor I don't know who is.'

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 ant 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 it used to be. But that's all about to change...

Critic reviews

'This is one of Pratchett's best books. Hilarious and highly recommended'

'Pratchett is at the peak of his powers; it's hard to think of any humorist writing in Britain today who can match him...A masterful ear for dialogue, a keen eye for the ridiculous and a real feel for language'

'The best humorous English author since P.G. Wodehouse'

so many quotes worth tattooing

Loved it. Complete with dragons and loveable characters. An entertaining and humorous ride. The significant owl hoots in the night.

Great book, AWFUL narrator

He would be a fantastic narrator for sleep aides but he never speaks louder than a whisper and he makes you believe every character is constantly half asleep.

Lines from book left out

I have read this book many times and it us missing lines from the book

pure entertainment

Terry Pratchett was a genius. Couple that with the excellence of the audio book production and the reading, and you have an amazing result. I loved it!

There's no indication this is an abridged version!

How do you remove 2/3 of a book and not indicate it in the title! Terry would be furious!
