Book ReviewMaking Money
I have no idea how he does it, but Terry Prachett is so consistently funny, amusing and a very good writer.
Making Money is a continuation to the Going Postal book, with the main hero being Moist, again thrust into an unwilling job description, and raising to the occasion.
It was both hilarious and a good read, two distinct qualities, but Prachett is combining them masterfully. Highly recommended, and more than worth a second read, which I need to make time to.
There is also the shred of a promise to have Moist as the tax collector for the city, which would make for an interesting story, considering he is a thief.
