I quite enjoyed it. 167 I liked the first 20 pages of so, but the copy I had was misbound. (Bad HarperCollins!) It contained not 1, not 2, but 20+ pages of a contemporary spy thriller. First I thought, "Oh, alternate universe in addition to time travel? Cool." Then I realized that even though the page numbers and fonts matched, the title, author, chapter headings, and page layout did not. Would have kept reading, but I missed the actual time travel part. 2nd review: found a copy with all of its pages. Enjoyed the book. Sam Vimes, el inefable jefe de la guardia de Ankh-Morpork, viaja en el tiempo para atrapar a un asesino y detener una sangrienta sublevación. Cuando Sam Vimes, duque de Ank, se halla en plena persecución de un asesino en serie, es engullido por una tormenta junto con el criminal. Al despertar, ha retrocedido treinta años en el tiempo… Nadie le conoce, el asesino anda suelto y además está a punto de desatarse una revolución que obedece a oscuros propósitos. Una vez más, Vimes tomará el mando para evitar un inminente baño de sangre, ¡aun a riesgo de no poder regresar a su mundo ni a su tiempo!
A fine place to start reading Pratchett if you don't mind a few ''in'' jokes, ''Night Watch'' transcends standard genre fare with its sheer schoolboy humor and characters who reject their own stereotypes. What makes the book intriguing is Pratchett's Chestertonian common-sense morality. While his blunt logic doesn't always equip him to deal with the niceties (at one point, he seems to argue against any controls on gun ownership), it allows him to break through liberal confusions and conservative certainties. Not a side-splitter this time, though broadly amusing and bubbling with wit and wisdom: both an excellent story and a tribute to beat cops everywhere, doing their hair-raising jobs with quiet courage and determination. Stories both trap people in a continuum and console them with images of beginnings and ends. Pratchett is a master storyteller.

Sam Vimes can't tell what kind of day he's having. One moment he's fighting a ruthless murderer on top of the library of the Unseen University. The next, he's thrown back in time. But, the city's on the brink of revolt, and that killer he was after in the future is with him here in the past, which is now the present. Now all Vimes has to do is figure out how to get back home--but first he has to change the outcome of a bloody rebellion. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
