It's an offer you can't refuse. Who would not wish to be the man in charge of Ankh-Morpork's Royal Mint and the bank next door? It's a job for life. But, as former con-man Moist von Lipwig is learning, the life is not necessarily for long. The Chief Cashier is almost certainly a vampire. There's something nameless in the cellar (and the cellar itself is pretty nameless), it turns out that the Royal Mintruns at a loss. A 300 year old wizard is after his girlfriend, he's about to be exposed as a fraud, but the Assassins Guild might get him first. In fact lot of people want him dead. Oh. And every day he has to take the Chairman for walkies. Everywhere he looks he's making enemies. What he should be doing is ...Making Money!

2008-02-15 Terry Pratchett and Tony Robinson, What a Team

Terry Pratchett was born in 1948 and is one of the most popular authors writing today. He lives behind a keyboard in Wiltshire and says he 'doesn't want to get a life, because it feels as though he's trying to lead three already'. He was appointed OBE in 1998. He is the author of the phenomenally successful Discworld series

There is just no other author about who writes like Terry Pratchett. His humour is second to none. There are one or two writers who are trying to get close to him, but failing miserably. Making money is the latest book in the Discworld series, taking us once again to the streets of Ankh-Morpork. Streets frequented by Werewolves, Zombies, Vampires, Trolls and of course to keep everyone in line patrolled by the men of the Watch, under the scrutiny of their leader Vimes.

For those who prefer to listen to their Discworld tales rather than read them, the voice of Tony Robinson is perfect to set the scene for the wackiest world in space. As the other reviewers have pointed out this is an abridged version but still worth having and listening to.

Everyone, with any sense would love to be able to make money and to be in charge of the Ankh-Morpork's Royal Mint is a dream come true. This is the theme for the latest Discworld novel and everything is in place for it to be a winner. Regular Pratchett reader's will be beating the door down to buy this book and for those (there must be somebody) who have not read any Discworld books. Treat yourself, you won't regret it.
