This is one of my favorite books of the Discworld, and an excellent follow-up to 2004's Going Postal. Moist von Lipwig is a lovably despicable character, and you can't help but root for him.
I liked it. Moist von Lipwig was in fine form and seemed to be reconciling himself to being a good guy. It had a few laugh out loud moments and enough organizational and financial jokes for the MBA. Go forth and read.
I love how Prachett can make something that we take for granted (newpapers, the postal system, banking, etc.) and use them as a basis for a wonderful and fascinating story. It's especially enjoyable when he brings back fun characters from previous books. The author's talent at creating a book with not only an excellent plot but a sense of humor that does not leave the reader disappointed is why I love reading books by him. I found myself giggling and bursting out in laughter too many times to count.
It's an overall excellent novel that is a must-read for any fan of the series or fantasy in general.
