Kirjaudu LibraryThingiin nähdäksesi, pidätkö tästä kirjasta vai et. Ei tämänhetkisiä Keskustelu-viestiketjuja tästä kirjasta. this type of book - fantasy- is normally not my cup of tea, but this is one of my fiancé's favorite books and author so i gave it go. it took me a REALLY long time to get into it. BUT in the end this book was very enjoyable. Pratchett's writing style is brisk and entertaining. the humor placed throughout the book was well-paced and his characters are amusing and strange, but also had a certain sincerity that kept me interested in their welfare. and what a main character.. Moist von Lipwig was entertaining to follow. Moist's efforts to revive the struggling postal service should make you grin.. if you don't laugh to yourself while reading this something is wrong Con-man Moist von Lipwig is rescued from the hangman and given an offer he can't refuse: revive the defunct Ankh-Morpork postal system or return to the noose. Unfortunately, the Grand Trunk, a cutting-edge clacks firm, is intent on snuffing out any potential rivals. Hijinks ensue. Lipwig is an unusually malicious protagonist for a Discworld novel. I just gave my sister Pyramids to read and, flipping through the opening sections, I was struck by the pains Pratchett went through in the earlier novel to make the almost-assassin Teppic a sympathetic and vulnerable hero. By contrast, Lipwig has a clear-eyed view of his own amorality, although he sugar-coats the culpability of his victims. Of course, the conclusion of the novel asserts that Lipwig's compromised nature makes it possible for him alone to do the necessary dark deeds for the public benefit. (And just now, I've realized the brilliance of having economic predator Lipwig grapple with physical predator Gryle, who was a satisfying creepy sub-villain.) ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

Arch-swindler Moist Van Lipwig never believed his confidence crimes were hanging offenses-until he found himself with a noose tightly around his neck, dropping through a trapdoor, and falling into-a government job? By all rights, Moist should have met his maker. Instead, it's Lord Vetinari, supreme ruler of Ankh-Morpork, who promptly offers him a job as Postmaster. Since his only other option is a nonliving one, Moist accepts the position-and the hulking golem watchdog who comes along with it, just in case Moist was considering abandoning his responsibilities prematurely. Getting the moribund Postal Service up and running again, however, may be a near-impossible task, what with literally mountains of decades-old undelivered mail clogging every nook and cranny of the broken-down post office building; and with only a few creaky old postmen and one rather unstable, pin-obsessed youth available to deliver it. Worse still, Moist could swear the mail is talking to him. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
