Your review	This is the latest Discworld book from Terry Pratchett, and is once again set in Ankh-Morpok. It mostly revolves around the character of Moist von Lipwig, who was the star of Going Postal. In many respects this is a very similar book to Going Postal - just as that book sent up Royal Mail / The Post Office, this book sends up the Bank of England/The Royal Mint. In this it fits very nicely into the latter series of Discworld books that have quite clear and specific targets. The style is also very similar to Going Postal, though my own opinion is that it is not quite as strong an outing. There are elements that don't quite click now and then, and the whole book is slightly looser than say Thud! or The Truth. Despite this, it remains a very enjoyable read. The villain is nicely characterised, and there are some nice cameos of the usual suspects, including Vetinari. Overall, if you want a nice light-hearted read, and a chance to laugh a little, you will not go wrong with this book. B
