book report: Men at Arms
Men at Arms
by Terry Pratchett
Another fun Pratchett book. This one is all about the Night Watch in Ankh-Morpork. Their captain is about to retire to a life of luxury as the husband of a noblewoman, and the Watch is in turmoil due to recent affirmative action hires of a troll, a dwarf, and a werewolf.
The plot is not really the point, as usual with the Discworld books - instead, it's about the satire. This book features scary clowns, a talking dog, a new weapon, dwarf vs. troll politics, and a possible new king. It's funny.
