Making Money

De: Terry Pratchett

Narrado por: Stephen Briggs

Postmaster general Moist von Lipwig, former arch-swindler and confidence man, has exceeded all expectations in running the Ankh-Morpork Post Office. So it's somewhat disconcerting when Lord Vetinari summons Moist to the palace and asks, ""Tell me, Mr. Lipwig, would you like to make some real money?""

Vetinari isn't talking about wages. He's referring to the Royal Mint of Ankh-Morpork that has run on the hereditary employment of the Men of the Sheds, who do make money in their spare time. Unfortunately, it costs more than a penny to make a penny, so the whole process seems somewhat counter-intuitive.

But before Moist has time to fully consider Vetinari's question, fate answers it for him. Now he's not only making money, but enemies, too; he's got to spring a prisoner from jail, break into his own bank vault, stop the new manager from licking his face and, above all, find out where all the gold has gone—otherwise, his life in banking, while very exciting, is going to be really, really short . . .

A great follow up to Going Postal

if you want a continuation of going postal this book is perfect. it starts off a little odd, but once you get into the throw of the story it's great!

10/10 I really enjoyed the performance and the story!!

A Seamless Addition to a Beautiful Universe

Easily picked up by Discworld followers, I would advise an earlier title for new readers.

Great narrator, odd format

The audio book contains odd transition music, as if it were converted from an old multi-tape version.

The narrator's great though

Fun, exciting and extraordinary

Love the Discworld series, it is such a great way to dive in a different world of fantasy but still with the problem we face every day as being walking this globe world.

Very clever!

A clever introspection on so many aspects of our world. Sir Terry blends lovable characters and a humorous setting to deliver a thoughtful commentary on human interaction. Could not recommend enough to readers of all ages. Certainly one for the bookshelf.
