Monstrous Regiment - Terry Pratchett [157]
South Bend Tribune
“Terry Pratchett seems constitutionally unable to write a page without at least a twitch of the grin muscles…[But] the notions Pratchett plays with are nae so narrow or nae so silly as your ordinary British farce. Seriously.”
San Diego Union-Tribune
“Surprisingly meaningful but never short of hilarious; a monstrous success for Pratchett.”
Kirkus Reviews
“One wild war story…Clever, fast-paced, and funny.”
St. Paul Pioneer Press
“A great piece of writing, akin to Jonathan Swift…This is unlike anything Pratchett has written before.”
The Express (London)
“Terry Pratchett is the Charles Dickens of our time, and if you think otherwise, you haven’t been paying attention…If you haven’t discovered him yet, you’ve a great many treats in store…This is a dark book in some ways, but it’s also hilarious…Pratchett never writes the same book twice…There are, by my count, twenty-four Discworld books…And they keep getting better.”
New Zealand Herald
“One of the year’s best books…
Gender-bending comic mayhem hides kernels of astute social commentary.”
East Bay Express (CA)
“Wickedly satirical…[Pratchett] makes some astute comments on power, religious intolerance, and sexual stereotyping…[His] perceptive handling of a timely topic…may inspire some sighs as well as laughter.”
Publishers Weekly (*Starred Review*)
“Thought-provoking yet entertaining…Newcomers as well as old fans will laugh long, hard, and often!”
