A book I couldn't put down; every page makes you laugh out loud. The story and characters are simply wondrous, with plenty of hilarious observations an events that only Terry Pratchett could create. Top stuff.

What a great recording. Who doesn't like Commander Vimes? A great book that made me laugh out loud.

A tiny nation is at war and girl dressed as a boy joins a mismatched regiment and ultimately wins the war.

Like most later Diskworld novels Monstrous Regiment will be a quick read with some good chuckles and then fades from memory.

The twists are predictable, the jokes are too, there's a lot of moralizing about the horrors of war but nothing more unpleasant than a bump on the head happens on camera.

A good read for a long plane trip or dull weekend.

I love everything Terry Pratchett, but Monstrous Regiment isn't his best effort. If you haven't read Terry Pratchett before I recommend one of his other books first - I like reading them in order of publication anyway although it's not necessary. If you're an old fan, you'll like it (and maybe even better than I did).

This book comes in at about 400 paperback pages... which was big for a discworld novel at the time.

The book starts off great, and proceeds in typical Pratchett style until about page 240... then, things go downhill quickly. The fun/fast read is over, and it becomes a struggle to even finish the book.

I recommend GOING POSTAL instead, if you want a good example of a big/latter day book from the discworld series.
