![]() Upon reading this its both a wonderful tribute to the crime genre and I can see signs of Pratchett further developing that social commentary that weirdly still chimes very well with the 2020s. Some prefer chronologically (as this readalong would suggest I would struggle to support this) others go Mort (which isn’t too bad for a taster of what Pratchett can do) I’m quite a big fan of Wyrd Sisters (see previous review) or Small Gods (that joy is to come) but a common one as its one of the stronger threads in the series is Guards! Guards! As this commences the Watch strand and introduces us to probably my second favourite Discworld character Captain Vimes. Whenever people ask where a good place is to start with Discworld you can never get a straight answer. They could put you in mind of a can of sardines, if you thought sardines were huge and scaly. ![]() And although the space they occupy isn’t like normal space, nevertheless they are packed in tightly. ![]() ![]() They lie…not dead, not asleep, but dormant. ![]()
