 In my opinion, this is the best Pratchett book. They are all really good, but for some reason I really liked Moist von Lipwig, and found him extremely funny.

 Wonderful witty, snarky humor, turning postal madness into a completely understandable and acceptable dementia (and even throwing some protagonist redemption in just for fun)

 Pratchett's not a great writer. He's a pretty decent storyteller, though, and he's still got a few tricks up his sleeve, even after all this time. Pick this one up if you've enjoyed his other works or if you're looking for something light, lighthearted, and even occasionally downright funny.

 Moist Von Lipwig is a fun antithesis to Samuel Vimes' character, Pratchett's most commonly recurring character. The story of a thief having his criminality fully and gainfully employed by - who else? - the government.

 Very funny book featuring Moist Van Lipwig, a conman sentenced to death by hanging who is given a second chance when he is appointed Postmaster of Ankh-Morpork. Using all the (considerable) cons at his disposal, Moist succeeds in getting the dilapidated post office up and running, inspiring the odd cast of employees, and even starts a new type of collecting when he invents postal stamps. But Reacher Gilt, evil head of the Board of Directors for the clacks company, isn’t so happy and determines to bring down Moist and the entire postal service. This is one of Pratchett’s best, which is saying a lot.

 OK, I gave up on it... about 75% through the book. It wasn't the most painful read ever, but I don't think I need to ever try again to read a Terry Pratchett book. It's just not for me.

 The bastardization of corporate speak in a section of this book totally made my day.

 Großartig - Pratchett schafft es einmal wieder, zu erklären, warum die Dinge so sind, wie sie sind...
