Discworld

[MK IV]

Monstrous Regiment :

Pratchett's newest discworld addition, Just read it and although I did enjoy the book , I kinda have mixed feelings, the plot wasn't exactly origional for Pratchett (kinda a mix of equal rights and Men at Arms, with a splattering of satire[parody even] courtesy of the Sharpe books) which is all I can say without giving Too much plot away, also unlike many other of his books , where the plot seems to get pushed forward by the characters, the plot for this book seems to drag the characters with it.

Although im being critical it still is a good book, though far from Pratchetts best, it's was easy to sympathise for the main character Polly/Ozzy, which meant there were a few, very emotional moments in the book for me, although some other characters were weak (Maladict* and the Troll), it also had one of the better characters Pratchetts made - Sergeant Jackrum who is the embodiment of what a soldier should be (except he's fat).

Not a bad book, worth a read.
