Feet of Clay (Front Cover)

On Sunday I finished another book. “Feet of Clay” a discworld novel by Terry Pratchett. I must say I really like the discworld novels, not only because I’m a fan of fantasy in general, but because Pratchett puts a lot of work into his characters and the description of the physics, the magic and the politics of the discworld itself. In addition to that he writes with an almost infinite amount of humor, mostly of the dark kind.

In this particular novel you will get the invention of modern police work in the biggest city of the discworld . The city watch starts following clues (instead of solving rimes in the traditional way using fists and swords). At the same time there is a theological dispute about the nature of golems and the social problem of integrating dwarfs, goblins and undead people into the already chaotic society of Ankh-Morpork.

Definitely fun to read! If you want to give it a try consider reading it in English because some of the gags are rather hard to translate if one can translate them at all.
