One of the funniest books I've ever read.

This book is so much better than Guards Guards (which already is an amazing book in itself). There are lots more characters, each of them have their own storylines happening simultaneously, all of them have great character development and are fleshed out really well. There have been so many parts in the book when I had to set the book aside because I was laughing so much until I was in tears. I have always thought it was hard to find humour in books. Boy, was I proven wrong. The book generates humour in multitude of ways and it never gets boring for a second. It also has the clever satirical humour on serious issues.

If I have to nitpick something that could be better, it would probably be the plot about the Gonne, which I felt was a little below par compared to the rest of the book.

Definitely a top tier book. Makes me so much more excited for more Discworld books.
