This book is all about a man who at first is named Albert Spangler who eventually becomes known as Moist Von Lipwig.

Albert is a man who likes to live life on the edge (it is the only time he feels truly "alive"), and so his exploits aren't just about the money, they are about the adrenaline. Simply put, his thinking becomes sharper when he is under pressure, or in an extreme situation. Or at least, his mouth says things and then his brain at some point caches up and somehow, so he always manages to "pull it off" with interesting results.

Unfortunately his luck finally runs out and he is caught and put in jail to be hanged......

At the moment of his hanging, things don't go quite as Albert was expecting. This is when he meets Lord Vetinari, the ruthless, cunning, powerful (and seemingly almost psychic) ruler of Anch Morpork.

Vetinari is a man who is in control of every situation, and always gets what he wants, and he wants to tell Albert Spangler about angels.....and the Post Office.....and an offer he CAN refuse, its entirely his choice, right?

Which door to choose? Death or Rebirth?
Albert Spangler or Moist Von Lipwig?

Well you'll have to read the book to find out.

This is yet another excellent book from Terry Pratchett, it kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time and I was hardly able to put it down, it has a mostly unpredicatble storyline and keeps you interested all the way through.
