DESCRIPTION:
"Inspector Vimes takes a vacation (basic idea)" according to Robert E.. Loved the book. I'm a Pratchett addict, so there's no way the uninitiated would understand: And this late in the Discworld series is not a place to start. Start with something fun like Going Postal; there was a movie done on this one. Sorry Terry is gone, but he wrote lots of books, Inspector Vimes takes a vacation (basic idea) Robert E.

The world continues If you like Terry Pratchett's DiscWorld, you will like this book. I don't think it is one of the best, but I have only read it once. Besides, even Pratchett's not-the-best is still a lot better than most writers.In this book, little Sam is growing and starting to explore the world as a six-year-old. It is great to see a protagonist who really enjoys being a father--even when his scion takes on a smelly classification project.

Gaiman:On a piece about writing in the New York Times, Carl Hiaasen (a writer you started me reading on the Good Omens tour), wrote, “Every writer scrounges for inspiration in different places, and there's no shame in raiding the headlines.
But this is Discworld, where nothing goes as planned and hilarious adventure ensues.". In this thirty-eighth entry to his esteemed Discoworld canon, the beloved Commander Sam Vimes of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch is taking a vacation. For more than three decades, Terry Pratchett has been enthralling millions of fans worldwide with his irreverent, wonderfully funny satires set in the fabulously imaginative Discworld, a universe remarkably similar to our own. From sports to religion, politics to education, science to capitalism, and everything in between, Pratchett has skewered sacred cows with both laughter and deep wisdom, and exposed our warts, foibles, and eccentricites in a unique, entertaining, and ultimately serious way
