There's a werewolf with pre-lunar tension in Anti-morpork, a dwarf with attitude and a Golem who begins to think for itself. But for Commander Vines, that's only the start. There's treason in the air - he's not only got to find out whodunit, but howdunit too, and he's not even sure what they dun.

NO MASTER

As a Jewish person, I don’t know how to feel about the ending.

But then again, Pratchett was notorious for overgeneralizations and ethnic stereotypes in his books (take the whole inverse asians, who travel to Ankh-Morpork to study at the feet of a regular Morporkian housewife or Time Monks from the same book, some examples from forthcoming Jingo). However these overgeneralizations for me hitting just the right left-centrist note to not sound ethnicitist.

That said, if I would had to formulate an outtake of this book in one phrase, I would say “you can’t spell nobility without knob… even if you do”.
