It has a good page count being 480 pages. It’s really interesting to see how Terry Pratchett writes the character’s interactions, thoughts, and irony that creates a sorta suspenseful read. Terry Pratchett has a good writing style, and this novel is written a bit differently than his other books in the Discworld series, as this novel has chapters that each begin with a synopsis of philosophical themes. All these elements really add up to a fantastic book and a fun read. This book is really about redemption, hope, and human nature.
In my opinion Terry Pratchett really did an amazing job with this book. He now has to take on the Grand Trunk communications monopoly all while dealing with the mail seemingly talking and the post office job being harder than he thought. While he should be dead Lord Vetinari has another use for his talents. Going Postal is about Moist Von Lipwig, a skilled criminal and scammer, falling into a government job at the post office after being hung. Going Postal is a novel in the Discworld series, and also happens to be one of the best starting places for anyone who’s interested. The series takes place all over the Discworld, which is a fantasy land in the shape of a disk that is carried on the backs of four elephants that stand upon the shell of a turtle. The Going Postal Novel was a nominee for the Nebula Award in 2006.The Discworld series is a fantasy series created by Terry Practchett. And if the bold and impossible are what’s called for, he’ll do it to move the mail, continue breathing, get the girl, and deliver that invaluable commodity that everyone requires: hope. Inspiring words (admittedly, some of the bronze letters have been stolen), and for once in his wretched life Moist is going to fight. Reacher Gilt.īut it says on the building ‘Neither Rain Nor Snow Nor Glom of Nit’…. Worst of all, it means taking on the gargantuan, money-hungry Grand Trunk clacks communication monopoly and its bloodthirsty piratical head, Mr. Worse, the new Postmaster could swear the mail is talking to him. Terry Pratchett’s profoundly irreverent, bestselling novels have garnered him a revered position in the halls of parody next to the likes of Mark Twain, Kurt Vonnegut, Douglas Adams, and Carl Hiaasen.Īrch-swindler Moist von Lipwig never believed his crimes were hanging offenses, until he found himself with a noose around his neck, dropping through a trap door, and falling into…a government job? Getting the moribund Postal Service up and running again, however, may be an impossible task. Terry Pratchett is an internationally acclaimed author who specializes in fantasy books.
