  <default-description>Another wild romp through Discworld!  Corporal Carrot, a young  dwarf, is newly in charge of the recruits guarding Ankh-Morpork.  Edward, the 37th Lord d'Eath, has just discovered that Ankh-Morpork, kingless for generations, has a sovereign ruler, who must be convinced that he is, in fact, the King.  The fate of Ankh-Morpork rides on a young man's courage, an ancient sword's magic, and a three-legged poodle's bladder.</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[When last we left our intrepid Ankh-Morpork Night Watch, things were looking up. This is a nice change from the gutter's-eye-view we had at the beginning of <em>Guards! Guards!</em>. Things have changed in the time between books. The Watch has a new headquarters, much nicer than its old one, thanks to Lady S...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/14146550">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[My second Discworld book. Since I gave the last one 4 stars, I'd like to give this one 4.5. Continue to particularly enjoy the characterization. Storyline is formula but in a good, cozy way. More complex plot than <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/64216.Guards_Guards_Discworld_8_" title="Guards! Guards! (Discworld, #8) by Terry Pratchett">Guards Guards</a>. Fewer goofy pop culture refs for humor.

    <body><![CDATA[I'm working my way back through all the night watch books in audio this time and it's so fun!  I think the first ones are read by Nigel Planer and the later ones are read by Stephen Briggs (HOW do I know this?)  People seem to feel strongly about both readers, loving one and hating the other.

    <body><![CDATA[If you like Terry Pratchett's Discworld books, you'll probably like this one too.  Nothing earthshaking about it I think, but it was funny and fun.  (I've been picking up a few of the older Pratchett books from the library recently, after being reminded of him by a Michael Dirda review a little whil...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/46034446">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Rereading a Pratchett book is like curling up with a cup of my favorite tea on a cold evening; it's comfortable and familiar and simply delightful.  My then-boyfriend-now-husband convinced me to give Pratchett a try when I was in high school, and at this point I believe I have read all of his Discwo...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/67000962">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Definitely the Discworld series spans almost all genres but in the Night Watch portion of it it appeals to anyone who likes film noir, mysteries, and fantasy.  However its main appeal is the humor - because if you don't like to laugh, this is not the book to read, nor is Pratchett at all.<br/><br/>...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/6580212">more...</a>]]></body>
