Guards! Guards! is one of my favourite Discworld novel, the one that made me fall in love with the City Watch cycle, laugh and discover how it was possible to mix fantasy with plenty of humour and social remarks.
It's a very funny book but it's also a book full of sharp remarks about politics, society, and religion.
It's a multilayered story: you can read it as an entertaining story featuring dragons and people fighting dragons, as the story of a man who fights to find his place and dignity.
There's not a right or wrong way to read it as long as you read it.
I'm one of those Pratchett fan who never read his last book because they wanted to think there's still a new Pratchett book to read.
Reading again Guards! Guards! made me discover new sides to this beloved story and had a lot of fun.
Brilliant, riveting and highly entertaining.
OOK
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine

Terry Pratchett's first in the City Watch series proves to be a delightfully fun, silly, and entertaining reread for me. We are in the corrupt city of Ankh Morpork as we are introduced to the cynical cop Captain Sam Vines, whose unit is not doing the greatest of jobs, he is often to be found in a drunken stupor, that is until the newest recruit, an adopted over 6 foot dwarf, Lance Constable Carrot, turns out to be rather refreshingly keen on the idea of justice. This is a thought provoking and insightful satirical parody, with intelligent and clever perspectives on governments, injustice and humanity, delivered with oodles of hilarity, where there be dragons and threats to Ankh Morpork. The characterisations are stellar, drawing the reader in with ease into the fantastical world building. Just wonderful! Many thanks to the publisher.

Thank you to the publisher. Discworld is one of my favourite series ever made and it's been so exciting to revisit it. One of my favourites!

Guards! Guards! is the first of the City Watch books in the Discworld. Don't ever get them confused with the "adaptation" that is released (was released?) some time in the future (a while ago?). The characters are delightful and the book is so clever and funny, you would be weird if if did not at least make you smile!
