WHY IS THIS BOOK SO PERFECT WHO WROTE THIS I NEED TO AWARD THEM.Set in the perfectly normal world, which just so happens to rest upon a turtle, this book will definitely change the way you think. It dabbles in jokes and brilliant dialogue, but also has an underlying theme of racism and sexism.
The steam train is invented in Ankh Morpork and it isn't the right time. It has come too early, but the History Monks let the world take its course, and it turns out that it might just be the change that the world needed.
The dwarves are not happy with the Koom Valley Treaty and have overthrown the Low King. They are burning the clacks and generally being disruptive, the only ones who can stop them are these three characters:
Rhys Rhysson, Low King of Dwarves, he needs to get to Überwald as quickly as possible to regain his throne. He also has an important and long awaited announcement to make, which will topple the worlds of his dear subjects.
Moist von Lipwig is needed again to assist the Iron Girder on her first whistle down the track. Maybe he can learn something from his experience, too.
We get Vimes, again, to help the two of them.
This is just a drop dead gorgeous book that really gets you thinking. Not Terry's best, but near the mark.
Reccomended to anyone and everyone who cares to pick up a book.
