Monstrous regiment indeed. I won't spoil it for you, but...read this! A lighthearted, excellent read, with one heck of an ending. Love it! (  ) m_mozeleski | Aug 22, 2020 | Standard late-period Discworld. (  ) AldusManutius | Jul 5, 2020 | Re-Read 12/10/19: A delightful Discworld read that dives head first into a little country's war problem. Well, it's not really a problem, per se... in fact, it's almost done. As in fini. Kaput. With them the ultimate losers. So you'd think, with all the men being dead and all, they'd be more welcoming of a bit of some added support. And I'm not talking bras... or AM I? A very funny book. There are a few coffee drinking beasties here, a troll, and even an Igor(ina). It turns into a kinda Hogan's Heroes. Or rather, Heroines. And ooooh the abominations! Cross-Dressing Everywhere! ( ) bradleyhorner | Jun 1, 2020 | I read the print edition of this some years ago. Stephen Briggs really makes it a whole lot better experience. I loved the audiobook much more than the print. Terry Pratchett as always is amazing! Wonderful characters, astounding use of the language. A real barrel of laughs. (  ) njcur | Apr 13, 2020 |
 Like all of Pratchett's best work, this book bridges its classical sources to the present day, bringing feminist and trans themes to light along with contemporary ideas about religious wars, militarism, mercantilism and geopolitics. And all of that in a novel that flies along with such sprightliness that you'd never suspect it was pulling such heavy freight. ''Monstrous Regiment'' is most often spirited and shambolic, but it has some serious heft. Pratchett is on the side of those who make very little fuss, which means he gets to shiv those who do.

War has come to Discworld again. And, to no one's great surprise, the conflict centers around the small, arrogantly fundamentalist duchy of Borogravia, which has long prided itself on its unrelenting aggressiveness. A year ago, Polly Perks's brother marched off to battle, and Polly's willing to resort to drastic measures to find him. So she cuts off her hair, dons masculine garb, and, aided by a well-placed pair of socks, sets out to join this man's army. Since a nation in such dire need of cannon fodder can't afford to be too picky, Polly is eagerly welcomed into the fighting fold along with a vampire, a troll, an Igor, a religious fanatic, and two uncommonly close "friends". It would appear that Polly "Ozzer" Perks isn't the only grunt with a secret. But duty calls, the battlefield beckons. And now is the time for all good "men" to come to the aid of their country.
