Going Postal. Be grateful our postal service isn't like this!

Advantages: A great Disc World adventure from Sir Terry Pratchett
Disadvantages: May not appeal to non Pratchett fans

...The Book==

Going Postal is the 29th Disc World novel from the pen of popular fantasy author Terry Pratchett.

I read many of Pratchett's novel some years ago and enjoyed them very much. They are an acquired taste, Disc World novels draw the reader into a world populated by dwarves, vampires, trolls and werewolves. The humans are all too human in the Disc World and Pratchett manages to take the characteristics of basic human ...
...his stories. The human invariably have daft names and they portray humans in all their glory, fickle, greedy, jealous and infinitely fallible!


==The Plot==

The story line covers the fates of Moist Von Lipwig. He is con-artist, fraudster, cad and bounder, he is due to be executed but is offered a reprieve by the Patrician of the Disc World's capital city Ankh-Morpork. His life will be spared if he takes up the position ... more

Terry Pratchett - Going Postal Review

Advantages: Funny, slightly educational, outstanding storyline.
Disadvantages: Quite a lengthy book.

This book is hilariously funny. I view this as one of Terry Pratchett's best novels. In this book we follow the unfortunate life of the master thief 'Moist Von Lipwig' or one of his other many names. We follow him through his supposed death and then his introduction into being the 'Postmaster'. He finds Lord Vetinari's proposal hard to accept to begin with and simply attempts to escape the city but when he finds out that there is a Golem after him ...
...discovers that it is just easier to go with Lord Vetinari's Wishes. But the Post office isn't quite what he was expecting and he has a much harder job than he though ahead of him. This book is very good and makes a brilliant time filler so if you need something to read or just want to relax after a hard day at work then this is the book for you! ...

Advantages: Inventive and Witty. Great for readers of ages 12+
Disadvantages: If you do not like Pratchett's writing style, this book may not appeal

This book follows Moist von Lipwig as he carries out the task set upon him by Lord Vetinari, to rejuvinate the failed, Ankh Morpork Post Office. Written in Terry Pratchett's usual, clever and funny style, it will keep all readers fascinated and amazed until the last word. If you are already a Pratchett fan, and you haven't read "Going Postal", then you are missing out; if you are not a Pratchett fan, then you are missing out even more. This book ...

Lick me Penny Black

Advantages: Comparisons to the real world, excellent supporting characters.
Disadvantages: Lack of empathy for lead, missing one-liners.

?Going Postal? is Terry Pratchett?s twenty-ninth novel set on the magical Discworld. This world were trolls, dwarves, vampires and werewolves rub shoulders with humans in polite society bares a bizarre, yet frightening resemblance to our own be it in its racial intolerance?s or its political structure. This particular Discworld outing follows the adventures of Moist von Lipwig. This con-artist, fraudster, cad and bounder is due to be executed yet is offered a reprieve by the Patrician of the Discworld?s capital city Ankh-Morpork. His life will be spared if he takes up the long retired position of Postmaster General and steer the Post-Office back to the glory days of yesteryear. All Lipwig has to help him is an elderly Junior Postman obsessed with natural healing and an unstable orphan with pin obsession. However, he figures as ...

Review of Going Postal: A Novel of Discworld - Terry Pratchett

Neither Rain Nor Snow Nor Gloom of Night..

Advantages: Beautiful characterisation, funny, easy to read.
Disadvantages: Not enough Death.

My Father in law is a postman, so it's a surprise that I've only just read Terry Pratchett's "Going Postal" but it probably added a whole extra dimension of funny to the book that I've just read in a weekend. Yep, it's that good. Albert Spangler was a thief, a swindler and an all round con-man. He hanged to within an inch of his life. Then he woke up and he was Moist Van Lipwig, Postmaster general of Ankh Morpork's Post office. When he arrives for his first day of work he is greeted by graffiti, vandalism, a huge building stuffed full of undelivered mail, a cat, a Mr Groat (and his smell) and a Stanley, complete with Pin collecting obsession. He began to wish he'd stayed hanged. However, with the aid of a band of Golem's , the old post office families and the Smoking Gnu, Moist Von Lipwig not only gets the postal service ...

Going Postal down Ankh-Morpork-o...

Advantages: Just gets better and better...
Disadvantages: ... after a slow start.

Going Postal is yet another novel in the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett. For those of you that have never read a Discworld novel before, the Disc is a place of magic and mayhem, not so unlike our own world. But when elements of our world enter it, the result is usually more mayhem than usual? This is one of the novels that really doesn't need a particular knowledge of the series. Enter the unfortunately named Moist von Lipwig. Moist life is not happy, mainly because there's not much of it left. Despite being a confidence trickster extraordinaire, the authorities eventually caught up with him and he's now contemplating the rather unpleasant prospect of being hanged. However, there is still Hope. Hope, the great blessing - or curse - of mankind. Hope ducks out of sight as Moist is hanged? or at least, Albert Spangler, one of his ...
