Going Postal - Terry Pratchett Reviews

I have all of Tery Pratchett's books, some of them, it has to be said, are better than others depending on your tastes. Going Postal, for me, is up there with the best of them. Set once again in the city of Ahnk Morpork on the Disc World, Going Postal is the first of two tales, so far, involving ex criminal hustler and con man Moist ...  Read the complete review

This book is hilariously funny. I view this as one of Terry Pratchett's best novels. In this book we follow the unfortunate life of the master thief 'Moist Von Lipwig' or one of his other many names. We follow him through his supposed death and then his introduction into being the 'Postmaster'. He finds Lord Vetinari's proposal hard to ...  Read the complete review

Given a brief synopsis this book doesn't sound at all promising - a plain man is placed in charge of the postal system and, with the aid of a golden suit and winged hat, manages to turn it around. However (at the risk of sounding like a M&S advert), this isn't any ordinary postal system, this is a Terry Pratchett Discworld postal ...  Read the complete review

In the last couple of months I have been going a little crazy for Pratchett, in part to try and discover just what his attraction is and why I keep wanting to go back to this author when so many people I know do not find his work funny in the slightest. This seems a little harsh to say the least, as although he has written so very okay books, one ...  Read the complete review

My Father in law is a postman, so it's a surprise that I've only just read Terry Pratchett's "Going Postal" but it probably added a whole extra dimension of funny to the book that I've just read in a weekend. Yep, it's that good. Albert Spangler was a thief, a swindler and an all round con-man. He hanged to within an inch of ...  Read the complete review

I've been reading Terry Pratchett's Discworld series for over ten years now, though of late I've got a little behind - with Terry still writing at quite a rate, and demands of university limiting my time (the last thing I want when I leave the library is another book!) It was only at Christmas that I acquired 'Going Postal', the 29th ...  Read the complete review

First of all, I have to say that I'm surprised to see the low ratings of this book on the reviews already here. I admit that it does start off slowly, but it has some wondeful passages in it. Oh well, each to his own! Here's what I think of it: ****************** Going Postal is yet another novel in the Discworld series by ...  Read the complete review

“Going Postal” is Terry Pratchett’s twenty-ninth novel set on the magical Discworld. This world were trolls, dwarves, vampires and werewolves rub shoulders with humans in polite society bares a bizarre, yet frightening resemblance to our own be it in its racial intolerance’s or its political structure. This particular Discworld outing ...  Read the complete review

Terry Pratchett's thirty-third novel. That's quite something. I've loved nearly all of his books, and the sheer quantity of quality he produces buoys up the imperfect ones well. But this one - this is the first one I read that I felt a lot like I'd seen it all before. There's something uninspired here. It contains jokes. It contains warmth and ...  Read the complete review

Going Postal is the latest release from Terry Pratchett. Being a fan, I was eager to buy this as soon as possible and bought it from Amazon with my vouchers earned from Dooyoo. Now, fans are allowed to criticise what they love and recently, I have had a few disappointments from Pratchett. I found Night Watch disappointing and The Wee ...  Read the complete review
