Be aware before you start this book it is not complete! To finish the story you also have to read "All Clear". Frankly the story could have been told in one book not two. I think it was a matter of making more $. Sad.
If you like reading about the Blitz Blackout/All Clear give a lot of bit that really give a viseral context to the era. But it the Blitz is NOT your passion plowing through these two book is a real trial. Why? Mainly because you will encounter 3 of the most annoying characters it literature: Eileen, Binnie and Alf. Elileen is a whiner, Binnie and Alf are the monster children that are like the perpetural fingernails on the blackboard. The author for gawd know's what reason makes the story finally revolve around them in the final half of the story. Painful, like poking a sore tooth. I am one of those folks that feels compelled to finish a book (or story) one I start it. I hesitate to start another of this authors books for fear these are the type of characters that are close to her heart.

Very intersting read. Crafts another level to the character of Hannibal Lector. But it is in the vain of Dexter, in as much as it lends a positive gloss to serial killer.
Great writing worth the time.

Making Money and Going Postal are two of the best Terry Pratchett disc world books.
Going Postal followed by Making Money are a great way to introduce a newcomer to disc world and the ins and outs of Ank-Morpork.
Great read!

Great book unless you are a Wiccan and don't mind being portrayed as stereotype. And of course put it into a children book for another generation to absorb. Oh what fun. Disney pulled "Song of the South" because of it cute portrayal of Black Americans but Witches..... oh well got to have someone to target.
