Book Review: Making Money by Terry Pratchett

Making Money Author: Terry Pratchett

Book: Making Money

Genre: Fantasy

Julia Rating: 10

Comments: Making Money is the next installment of Moist Von Lipwig’s adventures into government. You may recall Moist from my very recent post about the book Going Postal by Terry Pratchett.  In Making Money, Moist has been Postmaster General for a year and is frankly, bored.  The Patrician of Ankh Morpork – Lord Vetinari – discovers this and decides to keep Moist’s life interesting.  He offers Moist a new job in which he will make loads of money, revolutionize an industry and very possibly get shot at.  

After many a strange circumstance, Moist comes to accept the position of Master of the Mint and Master of the Chairman of the Royal Bank of Ankh Morpork – the Chairman of said bank being a little dog named Mr. Fusspot.  Moist does indeed get shot at, learns about Golems the hard way (again) and discovers many reasons to tell the truth. 

Making Money is recommended reading for anyone who likes Terry Pratchett, or likes funny fantasy.

    Going postal was brilliant. Not quite as high on my list as the books starring death though. Seen the Hogfather movie yet?

    “Going Postal” doesn’t actually star Death… I love “The Hogfather” – but haven’t seen the movie yet. My uncle recommended it and I have to take the time to rent it. I will though! I promise. :)
