| Guards! Guards! |
Welcome to the famous literary world of Terry Pratchett (he's awesome)! Guards! Guards! is the eight book from the series "Discworld" but it's one of those books you can read without the rest of the series to understand. I have a feeling this isn't a children's book because they mention a few things that aren't very.... Childreny, if you know what I mean. But it's funny. Like, hilarious, funny. Like, ulra-mega-omigosh-this-is-genius funny. Okay, I think you get it. Even if there isn't a joke, the way the people behave is already comical.
This story is very complicated. Even at the beginning. It starts of with a drunken Captain Vimes who's waiting for a new recruit. In the meantime, this group called "The Elucidated Brethren" is planning to overthrow the Patrician (Vetinari) by summoning a dragon and bringing a king back to slay it. The new recruit Vimes was expecting turns out to be a boy who thought he was a dwarf the entire time, but actually, he's human and he decided to leave the mines to act like a real human...
The story is really complicated, but I loved it! I'd recommend it to any one that doesn't mind mentions of "sex" so probably over twelve, it's also good if you like humor, drunk guys and a couple of dragons.
Overall, it's an awesome book, written by an awesome author (not as awesome as Darren Shan) and you should definitely read it.
I have to read this. I haven't read a "complicated" book in a while! And I really, really, need new books.
