"The already solid City Watch gets fleshed out with a new assortment of characters, including different species and genders. This book takes a hard look at bigotry while taking everything else not serious at all."

4.33 avg rating — 93,019 ratings

"Themes continue from Men at Arms, we get more watch characters (including two of my favorites) and all characters continue to grow."

"Verbal abuse from a parent + the powers of wizards culminating in a wizard battle bigger and badder than I've seen in any other fantasy book. "

"Sir Terry sends up beaurocracy."

4.25 avg rating — 67,772 ratings

"The middle book in the larger Tiffany Aching story. This also deals with adolescent development, but the plot (major threat) just doesn't seem as big as some of the others."

4.34 avg rating — 235,469 ratings

"The first City Watch book, this one doesn't have as many of the great characters (just 4 watchmen so far) and sends up detective novels, noir."

4.30 avg rating — 120,542 ratings

"The first book in the Tiffany Aching subseries. It's not as strong as the other witch books and is just building to the quality of the other Tiffany Aching books."

"My 3 year old daughter absolutely loves this book. She's constantly requesting it to be borrowed from the Library. I think we're going to need a real copy for ourselves."

"Pretty solid, fun ride about a young kid that has to take on the job of Death. A few big plot holes drag it down in my view."

"This is about where the Watch books start to slide in quality. It is still a collaborative effort between a wide away of interesting watch characters, but it starts to shift more to Vimes."

4.27 avg rating — 77,778 ratings

"A solid sequel to Going Postal, this one has more hilarious interaction between Moist and The Patrician but a weak and 2-dimensional villain."

4.50 avg rating — 118,613 ratings

"Further away from the height of quality of the Watch books. I like to think of this as the first solo effort for Sam Vimes. The others show up, but he takes center stage, while he has not been the strongest watch character and his character arc is already completed (in 5th Elephant)."

4.18 avg rating — 39,662 ratings

"This is a very short book, and somewhat thin on the laughs. Still, the art is amazing."

4.36 avg rating — 79,188 ratings

"Far too focused on Vimes, though the other members of the watch do show up enough to make it worth reading, if you have already read all the other watch books."

4.01 avg rating — 168,404 ratings

"Continues the story from The Colour of Magic but tries to force a plot in where it doesn't really fit."

"A quite short tale for younger readers, but still very much a Discworld book. Has pictures. Recommended for ages 6-9."

"Sir Terry sends up the news paper. I got bored. This could have been great, but I think Sir Terry actually likes the newspaper. So, he went easy on them."

4.38 avg rating — 34,181 ratings

"A fine send off for the series which brings in and ties up plots from The Tiffany Aching series and the Witches series. A nice bookend when considered with the first Witch book: Equal Rites."

"Sir Terry sends up Futbol and Romeo and Juliet. Started real strong and then loses focus midway."

3.79 avg rating — 81,430 ratings

"Sir Terry sends up the classic tale of Faust. Seems unfinished and lacks the length, detail, or jokes from other books. But it has pictures (in some editions)."

4.15 avg rating — 59,758 ratings

"The Golden Horde was hilarious, but their jokes get repeated a lot and the send up of Ancient China never goes beyond stereotypes and walks a bit too close to casual racism for me."
