ianbanks's review against another edition
4.0
Only the second of Mr Briggs’ plays I’ve read (I acted in The Truth a year ago) and the better of the pair. The changes from the novel make more sense from an audience/ staging perspective and there’s a lot of great character moments. My only complaints would be that Vimes is more obviously a framing device here than in the novel and that we never discover - in this script - what happened to Polly’s brother (although we do in the novel).

My favourite book to ever be written. The characters are comical, the story is engaging and the over arching theme, as usual for Pratchett, shows us an ethical problem which exists in our world.

The funniest Discworld book I've read so far, though it didn't hugely impress me otherwise.

Of all the Discworld books I think this one is the best for a second read
