Is Prachett on a roll?

[Winters_Sorrow]

I always enjoy a TP book. It usually has a nice easy flow to it but I do think that he's lost some of his scarcastic edge.
Some of his earlier books were so funny they had me laughing out loud (especially the footnotes) but the later ones have been amusing but not quite so laugh out loud funny.

I've only read half/three quarters of monstrous regiment, and never got any further, but I think iut might have been because I was reading 4 pratchetts a week and had been doing so for a while, and I might have been getting a bit weary.

All his books are really good, and if one lacks something, I think it gains somewhere else.

Surely the question was rhetorical.

It is a good book, it's just that in comparison with his other books it is slightly weaker. That's what I think, at least.

I found Jingo, Small Gods, Monstrous Regiment, Fifth Elephant and the Last Continent not so much to my taste the first time I read them.

Have re-read them all and liked them much better the second (or third) time.

Nightwatch is imho a superb book. One of the best books I have EVER read.

My favourite for all the bad jokes is Soul Music, I mean the 'grammatically correct - the Whom' - get your coat for that one Terry!!

Cheeses, we are bigger than cheeses!

I think is my favourite line there. Have you seen the animated version? Its very very good!

I have a serious problem in that I cannot move beyond the city watch books. I have read each one two to three times already (and considering I discovered Pratchett only a year back), but each time I try to read a new one I keep going back to Sam Vimes. I have read Pyramids, Monstrous Regiment, Going Postal, Hogfather and quite a few of the witches books, but I started my Pratchett with Men At Arms (just picked it off a bookshop shelf one day, never before heard of Pratchett, just liked the cover) and I am completely bowled over by the watch.

The watch are a fantastic story arc I'm looking forward to more from Vimes and Carrot. The way everyone thinks Nobby is a werewolf is great!

I'm reading Guards! Guards! now, which is the first City Watch and can understand people's for them silly boys. However, I haven't been disappointed by any of the characters so far.
