Guards! Guards! Brief Review

3 stars

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.
