The problem with trying to break into the apartment of the Postmaster General... is that once you've done it you're home and dry. Well, if you're Moist von Lipwig, you are at least 'home'.
There's no avoiding it... life since he wasn't hung for being Albert Spangler had had its moments. (See [[''Going Postal]]'') Not all of them especially pleasant moments, but most definitely MOMENTS! Now... especially when Adora was away rescuing Golems, and the clacks clacked away efficiently and even the night mail ran nightly... it just wasn't the same.
Moist might not yet be willing to admit it, but he's bored. Not quite to the point of welcoming a meeting with the Patrician but almost.
So should you read it? If you're a Discworld fan definitely, if you're not it's not one to start with - you'll miss a lot of the running gags if you don't read the early Watch series or least Going Postal first. Amusing rather than hilarious. I've also got a sneaking suspicion that the whole thing is an elaborate introduction to the next one.
If you like Pratchett and haven't yet discovered Christopher Moore, you should! Try [[Dirty Job]]. You might also enjoy [[The Burning Page (The Invisible Library Series) by Genevieve Cogman]].
