Brayan Zelayaa _rayan_elayaa — It is a sci-fi book with an underlying love story. The sci-fi stuff is as good as the love story. Stephanie Meyer is becoming one of my favs.

Joshua Navalkar joshuanavalkar — Letters want to be delivered - and if they don't, you can get some nasty surprises. Especially in the post office in Ankh-Morpork where letters haven't been delievered for years and years.. and are starting to talk... So to solve this problem, the Patrician and tyrant Lord Vetinari 'hires' con-artist extraordinaire Moist von Lipwig to fix it. In this case, hires means that after Moist is hanged - and almost died from it - he get offered to fix the postal service - or die. So he has a choice to make ... and after some thought, he decides to go for the postal gig, figuring he can always just escape. Not realizing that he gets a golem as a parol officer - and those never stop... and are not the nicest thing to be carried back to town by. So he exercises his freedom of choice (!) and starts as the postal master general - only to discover that the place is a complete mess and he's up against very hard competition from the Grand Trunk company (which sends messages over great distances in no time at all - and in some ways can be compared to emails since you can 'crack' the system and if you do so, you are a 'cracker'). The trunk company has been taken over by an evil chairman and which is now being run for profit only and therefore breaks down often - which gives Moist a business opportunity. So he dons a golden suit and start getting people to notice him - and the postal office - and it turns out, he's rather good at it. He creates stamps and introduces stamp collecting to the disk (he even turns an avid pin collector into a stamp collector!). But all is not complete before he has had a final facedown with the trunk company - and if possible, also gotten the girl. Because there is a girl - there's always a girl... In this case a chain smoking girl who works to protect the rights of golems - but it's still a girl... This was a hilarious book. I love Pratchett and when he's at his best, it's really amazing what he can think of - and this book is definitely a good one. He has a way of taking things from this world, putting them into the context of the Discworld and then making them seem so silly... Like his definition of Finance: "They'd saved the city with gold more easily, at that point, than any hero could have manged with steel. But in truth it had not exactly been gold, or even the promise of gold, but more like the fantasy of gold, the fairy dream that the gold is there, at the end of the rainbow, and will continue to be there for ever provided, naturally, that you don't go and look."(470) Financial crisis, anyone? And he writes scenes that are so amusing - like when Lord Vetinari establishes the 'limits' of his power: "'You can't do that!' Greenyham protested weakly. /.../ 'Can I not?' said Vetinari. 'I'm a tyrant. It's what we do.' 'But there's no evidence!' /,,,/ Greenyham pleaded. /.../ 'Mr Greenyham,' said Lord Vetinari, 'one more uninvited outburst from you and you will be imprisoned. I hope that is clear?' 'On what charge?' said Greenyham, still managing to find a last reserve of hauteur from somewhere. 'There doesn't have to be one!' This is a great read - and even though it's the twenty-ninth book in this series, I find it highly accessible so one doesn't have to have read the twenty-eight previous volumes to read and get this one.
