Making Money
by Terry Pratchett, 394 pgs, hardcover
Overall Grade: A
Series: Discworld
This one deserves a solid A. Maybe I'm just missing my fix of Pratchett but I heartly enjoyed this latest Discworld novel. It had all the right mix of humour, ridiculousness, profound statements and plot twists to make me happy. Plot: Our favorite 'nearly hung' con-artist Moist von Lipwig is back, or should I say, he never left. He's still the head of the Ankh-Morpork Post Office when Lord Vetinari (think tyrannical dictator-mayor) asks him to take charge of the Royal Mint/Bank. Moist declines, of course, which means that he'll end up in the job anyway. Then enter paper money, the Medicis of Ankh-Morpork, an ugly little dog, the golems found by his fiancee, a dead necromancer from Unseen University and a bank manager with something in his closet. Yes, it's a Discworld novel. With that list, how could it not be?
