Moist Von Lipwig has just become Postmaster General, even escaped death to do so, the only problem is that the Post Office is more than a little run down.

If you’ve enjoyed any of the Discworld novels you should enjoy this one. It has all the Pratchett humour, and footnotes, and it also has a wonderful leading man in Moist. You can’t help but enjoy this read.
And like most of Pratchett’s books this isn’t simply a funny fantasy book. We do have that element, but we also have the redemption story of Moist. And of course, the social-commentary aspect. All comine together to form an unputdownable addition to the Discworld ‘verse.
