Pratchett - Guards! Guards!

                

Yesterday, my brother gave me this book to read and I finished it about 11:00pm.  I guess that means it must have been interesting.  Weird, at the very least.  I still wasn’t “getting” any of it at page 100, which is about 1/4 of the way through the book.  This morning I looked it up and found that this is actually the eighth book in a series so perhaps I would have caught on to the story earlier if I started with number one.  I’ll probably read another just to see.  At any rate, about half-way through things started to fall into place and I was able to work out the semblance of a storyline.  And it was a weird storyline…
