In this, the first Discworld novel to star the City Watch, young Carrot leaves his adopted dwarf family to go to Ankh-Morpork and join the Watch. Meanwhile, unknown forces have summoned a dragon to terrorize the city, and Capt. Vimes is thinking a drink sounds good about now... This one isn't quite as good as the other books featuring Vimes and the Watch, as they haven't evolved into the fully-rounded characters they (particularly Vimes) are in later books. But this book is still hilarious, and as a librarian I am in love with the role that the Librarian plays in this episode. Good stuff, as always.
