Review: Making Money

Making Money by Terry Pratchett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Synopsis:

It's an offer you can't refuse.

Who would not to 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 Mint runs 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! 

My Thoughts:

I can't honestly tell you why I love this book. The author takes a subject that sounds quite boring and makes it very interesting. I mean that this is literally a fantasy book about banking ...... and I loved it- go figure! Terry Pratchett is a genius when it comes to pulling his audience into the story. This is the 2nd Discworld book that I have read and the 3rd book by this author and I must say that I am definitely a fan. I already have 3 more books by this author checked out and ready to read. Keep 'em coming Mr. Pratchett!!
