I really enjoyed this one. I thought it struck a good balance between humor and serious reflection, in a way more than some of the other Discworld books I have read so far. Moist is a hilarious and complex character and Pratchett is fantastic with his subtle and not so subtle commentary.

I've only read a couple of Discworld novels so far, however, I hadn't seen anyone talk about this particular book all that much. I picked Going Postal only because of its name that I founf funny.

The novel is about a failing postal service that has been rendered obsolete with the introduuction of a faster form of communication using huge towers (something akin to a telegram). Amidst all this lands, our hero Moist von Lipwig (Yeah, that's his name), a genius conman turned postmaster after he is hanged for his crime. (Don't worry, it all makes sense in the book). Well, Pratchett hit it out of the park again! Beneath all the classic Pratchett humour lies a biting satire about big conglomerates using and discarding people for their own profits. Human life has no value unless it is wasting away in mindlessly working in a communication tower day in and day out.

Ну я просто в улете! Прочитал 1/3 книги. До сих поо не понял в чем собственно дело!!!
Герои просто смех! Не понимаю чем эта книга поразила многих читателей, что они поставили ей высокий бал!? Я дальше читать точно не стану! Я не мазохист. Есть достаточное количество книг, которые захватывают с самого начала, имеют интересную идею или героям которых сопереживаешь на все 100%. Такие книги хочется читать, узнать что же будет дальше!
Эта книга, однозначно не из их числа!
