This is the second book I've read from Terry Pratchett and the second book in the Night Watch series of Discworld novels. I've come to expect from Pratchett copious quantities of punnery, fun whimsical characters, and a deep seated feeling that something is not quite right with the universe. But the books are FUN. I look forward to the next one.

We continue the story of Vimes, Carrot, Colon, and Nobby but also get to meet some new recruits. We get to know the city in greater detail, and we get a rousing whodunnit type story for the men to figure out! This is a fun adventure and makes for light reading that is difficult to put down.
