'The people next door oppress me all night long. I tell them, I work all day, a man's got to have some time to learn to play the tuba. That's oppression, that is. If I'm not under the heel of the oppressor I don't know who is.'

An aura of mean-minded resentfulness is thick in the streets of Ankh-Morpork. Insurrection is in the air. The Haves and Have-Nots are about to fall out all over again. The Have-Nots ant some of their own magic. But magic in the hands of amateurs is a dangerous thing.

The City Watch is the last line of defence against such unnatural goings-on. But when even the Watch have trouble telling Right from Wrong, you know that Law and Order ain't what it used to be. But that's all about to change...

Critics' reviews

'This is one of Pratchett's best books. Hilarious and highly recommended'

'Pratchett is at the peak of his powers; it's hard to think of any humorist writing in Britain today who can match him...A masterful ear for dialogue, a keen eye for the ridiculous and a real feel for language'
'The best humorous English author since P.G. Wodehouse'

Great Story, especially if you like ankh-morpork. I had a lot of fun with the twists and mystery aspect and the story as a whole. The reading by Tony Robinson is always my favorite for discworld Books and he delivers a great experience once again.

Brilliant as always

die Geschichte ist ziemlich stark gekürzt worden
wenn man die Geschichte nicht kennt fällt es wahrscheinlich nicht auf. aber es fehlen mehrere Stellen und Konversationen.

Habe ebenfalls übersehen, dass das Buch auf 3 Std zusammengekürzt wurde.
Es springt durch die Schlüsselereignisse und lässt Unmengen von Details und Pratchetts Erzähler-Humor aus. Was ein Jammer ist, denn Tony Robinson macht einen fantastischen Job als Scheibenwelt Sprecher. 1 Guthaben für das Äquivalent einer Kurzgeschichte. Na danke.

Abridged, und wie.

Very abridged version of the story. It was shortened to 3h instead of 10+. The overall story is the same but it's missing a lot of depth.

Great narration of a fantastic book
