“[Pratchett’s] books are almost always better than they have to be, and Going Postal is no exception, full of nimble wordplay, devious plotting and outrageous situations, but always grounded in an astute understanding of human nature.” — San Francisco Chronicle
The 33rd installment in acclaimed New York Times bestselling author Sir Terry Pratchett's Discworld series, a splendid send-up of government, the postal system, and everything that lies in between.
Suddenly, condemned arch-swindler Moist von Lipwig found himself with a noose around his neck and dropping through a trapdoor into . . . a government job?
By all rights, Moist should be meeting his maker rather than being offered a position as Postmaster by Lord Vetinari, supreme ruler of Ankh-Morpork. Getting the moribund Postal Service up and running again, however, may prove an impossible task, what with literally mountains of decades-old undelivered mail clogging every nook and cranny of the broken-down post office. Worse still, Moist could swear the mail is talking to him. Worst of all, it means taking on the gargantuan, greedy Grand Trunk clacks communication monopoly and its bloodthirsty piratical headman. But if the bold and undoable are what's called for, Moist's the man for the job—to move the mail, continue breathing, get the girl, and specially deliver that invaluable commodity that every being, human or otherwise requires: hope.

Zo jammer dat Storytel vrijwel alle boeken van Terry Pratchett heeft verwijderd en weigert ze terug te brengen.

Zoals altijd wordt ook dit boek - vol met woordgrappen en ironie- uitstekend voorgelezen door Stephen Briggs.

Clever satirical humor in a fantasy setting, by one of my favourite authors.

Voor iedereen die vond dat the Hitchthikers Guide to the Galaxy meer verhaal nodig had om boeiend te blijven. Zelfde absurditeit, beter narratief :)

Wat een woordkunstenaar. Geweldig boek vol Britse schrijvershumor.

Een pakkend toch enigszins voorspelbaar verhaal, maar dat is voor dit boek geen slecht ding. Ik heb mij hartstikke goed vermaakt.
