5/30/2023 0 Comments Guards guards goodreads![]() ![]() Guards! Guards! is a ridiculously funny book. But it still works extremely well on me - especially in the context of Discworld and Ankh-Morpork. ![]() Vimes himself is a tired old man in his late thirties (not a contradiction) with a heavy drinking problem and a cynical, dark outlook on the world and the people he’s still technically supposed to protect.īut then a dragon shows up and to everyone’s astonishment, there is a spark of decency and captainship left in Vimes.Īll this is, of course, an old narrative archetype. Not even a shadow of its former glory, the Watch is more like dregs that somehow hadn’t managed to dissipate yet. Guards! Guards! follows Samuel Vimes, the captain of the Night Watch. ![]() Mum’s fascination with Nanny Ogg keeps being mildly disconcerting. This review was originally posted at Goodreads and imported here later on with next to no spell/grammar checking.īeing the true son of my stepfather, the City Watch is my favourite Discworld subseries, too. Guards! Guards! by Terry Pratchett - Aimlessly Going Forward Aimlessly Going Forward ![]()
