    It's an offer you can't refuse. Who would not wish to be the man in charge of Ankh-Morpork's Royal Mint and the bank next door? It's a job for life. But, as former con-man Moist von Lipwig is learning, the life is not necessarily for long. The Chief Cashier is almost certainly a vampire. There's something nameless in the cellar (and the cellar itself is pretty nameless), and it turns out that the Royal Mintruns at a loss.

    If you could sum up Making Money in three words, what would they be?

    Old languages, Con artist and a touch of magic.


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    Mr. Fuss Spot.


    What does Stephen Briggs bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    Stephen Briggs is far from my favorit story teller, but he is one of the better story tellers. I happend to like Nigel Planer better. But he has the time to read my favorite books whiled I work and do my duties at home.


    Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

    I might say the last part where ouer willen wakes up in a ward for ppl that think they are Vetenary and he is as happy as he could ever be.


    Any additional comments?

    This dook is a brilliant follow up on Going Postal, Libvig is not my favorite character ore anything. But The Dick Worlds series is an absolute blast.

    According to The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch - the world's only totally reliable guide to the future - the world will end on a Saturday. Next Saturday, in fact. Just after tea...The armies of Good and Evil are amassing, the Four Bikers of the apocalypse are revving up, and everything appears to be going according to Divine Plan. Except that a somewhat fussy angel and a fast-living demon are not particularly looking forward to the coming rapture.

    *Skviiiiiiiii* I love this book. I think I am going to do my paper on this one to. I have then don one on the Hogfather for my Filosofi and got an A and this in English. I love the way Neil Gaiman wrights and Terry Pratchett is rapidly becoming my favourite author.

    Stephen Briggs reads many of the Discworld books and it is a pleasant way to hear the books. When he do change his voice to the character it fits them, he also dos accents, but that is after the description in the books.

    Now the book is a masterpice and should be loved and read by the world. I hope that you will love this book as much as me.

    The Companions of the Ring have become involved in separate adventures as the quest continues.

Merry and Pippin, captured by orcs, escaped into Fangorn Forest and there encountered the Ents. And all the time the armies of the Dark Lord are massing.

    Now that I am done whit the book I miss one thing. Giv me my Appendix. I need that Appendix, its where you get your happy ending. I want my happy ending, I need it. I can say that I have read it my self, but it is missing and I was looking foreword to hear it. The rest of the book is good and I kan learn to love the nerater, but I rally miss the after math of the story, where Sam goos to Frodo after he have lived a long life in the Shier, that Legolas and Gimlin goos to the Haven in a boot they make them self.

    The lord of the rings are a classic tale and I hope that it will stay living not just by nerds and geeks. The Return of the King is full of wonderful, trilling and hart rendering beauty, it has bravery and selfless actes. I love the story and it is a grand tail, it has in a way shaped me, I hope that it will give some other that joy and pleasure that good storys can give.

    At once a Gothic thriller, a passionate romance, and a cautionary tale about the dangers of science, Frankenstein tells the story of committed science student Victor Frankenstein. Obsessed with discovering "the cause of generation and life" and "bestowing animation upon lifeless matter", Frankenstein assembles a human being from stolen body parts. However, upon bringing it to life, he recoils in horror at the creature's hideousness.

    I loved the book, but I am disappointed in the ending. I feel that it should be more there, in some way it just stopped like the aouter got tired of here story. And I can see that I might be a bit out on a lim there, but I want there to be more. A conclusion to the last problem and maybe some help to the narrater of the story of Frankenstein.

Best Actress nominee Anne Hathaway (Rachel Getting Married, Alice In Wonderland), fresh from filming one of this year’s most anticipated films, The Dark Knight Rises, lends her voice to this uniquely American fairy tale.
