And that#65533;s a real problem for Captain Vimes, who must tramp the mean streets of the naked city looking for a seventy-foot-long fire-breathing dragon which, he believes, can help him with his enquiries.

I'm not rating this book as i never finished it, i get over halfway through before giving up on it mostly due to it seeming to be to slow, it did have its funny moments but i just couldn't finish it.

My favourite Terry Pratchett characters as a Graphic Novel, what's not to like!

Not much to be honest, it brings the Guards to life in a much better way than the forthcoming BBC America adaptation seems to be doing! Obviously the story is trimmed but the humour and characterisations are still there. Not as great as the book but still a very good version. ( )

I don't believe I would have known what was going on if I hadn't read the novel. Only Nobby looked like I imagined him, Vimes looked immensely wrong, but I liked how Lady Sybil was drawn. ( )
