A new stage adaptation of one of Pratchett's best-selling novels The Monstrous Regiment in question is made up of a vampire (reformed and off the blood, thank you), a troll, Igor (who is only too happy to sew you a new leg if you aren't too particular about previous ownership), a collection of misfits and a young woman discovers that a pair of socks shoved down her pants is a good way to open up doors in a man's army."One of the funniest English authors alive" (Independent)

My foray into the amazing world conjured up by Terry Pratchett continues. I didn't know there were other books preceding this one, and with his hundreds of titles in the wild, I had no guiding hand to tell me where I needed to start, so off to the world of Borogravia, located somewhere in Discworld, I imagine.
This book is hard to describe in the same words we use. If I was to describe how much I loved it, I'd honestly have to spend half of the rest of my life inventing a new language and the other half figuring out how to pronounce all the rudimentary words.
It's a pretty light read that you could probably finish overnight. If you can, pick up the audiobook by Steven Briggs. He does a killer job.
