Night Watch - Terry Pratchett ... Commander Samuel Vimes of the Ankh-Morpork had it all. But now he's back in
his own rough, tough past without even the clothes he was standing in when
the lighning struck.

Newest Review: ... Sam Vimes of The Watch is in persuit of a dangerous criminal (on the roof of the library of the unseen university), when he ... more

 ... and said criminal are transported back in time - to a time when the city was darker and more dangerous - where Sam Vimes isn't the commander of the Watch any more, and he is forced into helping his past self become... his present self, as it were, in addition to attempting to get home. I have a particular fondness for the Vimes stories, but this one in particular, because I feel as though the audience are given quite a lot of his backstory - we end up observing him as a young copper - fresh faced and eager, and...more

Well as is often the case, I seem to be in the minority in that I hated this book and was the first Discworld novel I have ever given up on....I stuck with it till right near the end, determined it would get better but unfortunately I was wrong. Which is a shame as I normally like the Discworld novels, I really like the characters of The Watch especially Sam Vimes and have often defended Pratchett to those who say he is a 0ne-trick-pony!! So whats it all about Sparky? Well Sam Vimes is in pursuit of a serial offender across the roof-tops of The Unseen University, home to the Wizards and all sorts of dastardly magicks, when a powerful storm erupts ...  Read the complete review

In years to come, I wonder if the same debate will rage about Terry Pratchett as Shakespeare – i.e., was he in fact several people? He writes with such authority on a huge number of subjects and in such a variety of styles that it’s quite incredible. Even just within the Discworld novels, though they are set on the same planet and can all be defined as “fantasy humour”, there is such variation in style and subject matter that it’s amazing. Take “Nightwatch”, for instance. Starring Stan Vimes, Commander of the City Watch and also Duke, it is one of only two Discworld novels (the other is “The Fifth Elephant”, which also stars Vimes) that has such a good plot ...  Read the complete review

Crowned Review Night Watch - Terry Pratchett: Turning the clock back (845 words)
by - written on 21/07/04 (Very useful, 130 readings)
Rating:

The works of Pratchett are always difficult to describe especially when talking of his Discworld novels. The world is divided into people who think he is a literary genius and those who just don't get it. He seems to be an author you either love or hate. Fortunately, I fall into the former category. For those who don't know (where have you been!)the Discworld is a flat world carried on the back of four elephants which in turn are carried on the back of Great A'Tuin the sky turtle which swims through space (still with me), only in this strange land could wizards, dwarves and trolls live in a sprawling metropolis known as Ankh Morpork. Ankh ...  Read the complete review

Crowned Review Terrys' Time Cop (743 words)
by - written on 18/11/03 (Very useful, 48 readings)
Rating:

Author - Terry Pratchett Published by - Doubleday Fantasy / Comedy 364 pages (h/b edition) ISBN 0385 602642 Night Watch is the 27th book in the Discworld series, and the second in a row to deal with the nicities of Time. As with many of the Discworld books, the story is based around characters and storylines introduced in previous books. For those not in the Discworld know, a review of the charcters and places of importance in the book is toward the bottom of this opinion. The books sees the return of Sam Vimes in the lead role. In fact the book features two Sam Vimeses as the 'present day' incarnation is thrust back in ...  Read the complete review

Crowned Review Night Watch - Terry Pratchett: Discworld Noir (1366 words)
by - written on 05/10/03 (Very useful, 399 readings)
Rating:

The evolution of the Ankh Morpork City Watch has been synonymous with the progression of the Discworld series in general (27 or 28 books now, depending on how you count!). Regular readers of the series have seen the shambolic - and merely symbolic - policing system of the Disc’s greatest city expand to fulfil its intended purpose and more. Who would ever have thought that the entity in Guards! Guards! could ever become the effective, efficient Watch of recent instalments, not to mention a startlingly good role-model for inter-species harmony? The original coppers, like Fred Colon and Nobby Nobbs (who perhaps is a model for inter-species harmony all in his ...  Read the complete review

Good Writing Style Does Not Follow On With The Story

Imaginative, Gripping, Memorable (especially ending) Slow to start

excitement, imagination, different none

A captivating read from a great author

Retains the same feel, compelling characters, and easy reading style as the first book The weakest book in the series that doesn't quite hit the quality of the other two

An exceptional series that I'd recommend heartilly to anyone and everyone! Not the best written books, but still enjoyable
