La Guardia Nocturna de la ciudad de Ank-Morkpok no tiene mucho trabajo. De los crímenes se ocupan los Gremios de Ladrones y de Asesinos, sin pasarse de una cuota fija al mes, por supuesto. Así, esta guardia destartalada y sin sentido de existencia consta de tan solo tres hombres: el capitán Vimes, el sargento Colon y el cabo Nobbs. Cuando un nuevo recluta, el idealista enano de casi dos metros llamado Zanahoria Fundidordehierroson, se integra en su equipo y no tiene mejor idea que arrestar a ladrones y asesinos haciendo cumplir la Ley, los tres veteranos guardias verán cómo su rutina se rompe. Y por si fuera poco, un dragón, criatura que se creía que ya no existía, ha aparecido en la ciudad, aunque a nadie parece interesarle mucho. La octava entrega de la serie Mundodisco, la saga de fantasía más hilarante de todos los tiempos.

reviewed Au guet ! by Terry Pratchett (Les Annales du Disque-monde, #8)

C'est particulier.

Premier livre de Pratchett que je lis.

L'histoire est sympa et drôle. Les personnages sont attachants.

Mais j'ai dû m'accrocher pour venir à bout de cette lecture qui m'a demandé beaucoup de concentration. Le style est particulier et à force d'absurdités, je me suis retrouvée souvent perdue, à devoir relire un paragraphe pour en comprendre le sens.

Donc c'est un avis mitigé.

Guards! Guards! Brief Review

This book came highly recommended as an entry point into Terry Pratchett's Discworld. I found the characters and story humorous, but it felt like a bit of a slog to get through. I eventually found the humour a bit repetitive, although the story was tied up somewhat nicely at the end.

I am curious if it is worth giving the DiscWorld City Watch series another shot. Are there any better entry points to the series as a whole?

Maybe not the correct set and setting

I don't know, I remember being more of a fan of Pratchett's writing, for this one I just kept feeling disassosiated and not really into it, it was still being amusing enough that I kept on through it, but I don't know, I feel like I liked it less than I expected/should have.
