Rating: - Collateral Custard saves the day. Genius.
Utterly stupendous ending saves this Pratchett Discworld novel of moderate worth.
Only a genius could come up with such a barmy original idea as Collateral Custard.
Mr Bent and Collateral Custard save the day

Rating: - A tale for today
Reading this as the financial institutions of the real world totter and shudder made me wish that Moist von Lipwig had been around to run Lehman brothers.

Rating: - My favourite Discworld so far
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, even though I had yet not read Going Postal. For me, it was witty enough to stand alone. I would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys Discworld, and also to any fellow bankers who are in need of a comic and incisive portrayal of our industry.
