   The book is good. Pratchett is always good, but I want to focus my review on my total experience, which was horrible.

   Amazon lied to me about when the book would be delivered, lied in the sense that when I was to choose to buy or not they listed a delivery time of 5-8 business days, but as soon as I had paid they changed the delivery time to 5-24 business days, which is so bastardly to do, and, I think, illegal.

   Then they took an additional 3 days to deliver, and whenever I would contact them, they would not answer my questions, but instead sent standard replies. They would not cancel my order and refund my money, and they would not in any way admit they had been wrong, or help the situation.

   I chose Amazon particularly because of their delivery time, because with delivery included they were more expensive than other sites. But since they change your order immediately after you make it, will not admit mistakes and treats you like a baby, because they have already got your money, I advise NO-ONE to EVER use Amazon to buy your products. This company is even better at making money then Moist, and even worse at managing then the Lavish family.

   If you are a fan of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld and love the style they are written in, this book is not for you.

   This was the most disappointing book I have ever purchased, mainly because my expectations were that it would be in similar style & tone as all of his other books. I have been a Terry Pratchett fans for many years, eagerly awaiting the next book. I am so sorry that those days appear to be over.

   This book – along with Wintersmith – were major let-downs for me. I suspect that someone else has stared writing under Terry Pratchett’s name. My sister, also a big fan, has the same suspicions. The humor is flat, the clever, humorous remarks are lacking, and – worst of all – it is as if all new characters have been created & given the same names as those I had come to love!

   I forced myself to keep reading, just in case Terry P decided to through in some of the good stuff. Last night, after the hideously long & boring conversation between Moist & Cosmo, I actually had to put the book down.

   2 books in a row produced with the same discrepancies – I will not be rushing to Amazon or the book store to buy the next book. I’ll probably go to a bookstore & read a chapter of 2 before I consider another purchase.

   I want the best of Pratchett back! I want the Granny Weatherwax & the Vetinari & all the others old & new back the way they were!

   Best thing ever. Terry Pratchett is like the coolest person ever. People that don’t like it are confused.

   I have been reading the Discworld novels since I was nine so you can imagine my excitement when I heard about this book.I was not disappointed , it’s the sequel to Going Postal and Moist Von Lipwig is back.This time to save the bank of Ankh Morpork and seriously,there is nothing at all predictable about this book and once you start reading it’s impossible to put down. I would recommend this book to anyone with a sense of humour.

   You’d think by now that Terry Pratchett would run out of jokes and wry observations, but there is no sign of it in “Making Money.” Wonderful characters, laugh-out-loud yet sophisticated humor (as far as I can tell…how does one really know?), and thought provoking situations guarantee you’ll be up later than you planned, reading about making money, and annoying your partner with your giggling.
