Summary: One of the Better Books about Vimes
Review: Vimes is now at the pinnacle of his career, and is sent by the Patrician to the city of Bonk in Uberwald as ambassador Vimes, Duke of Ankh-Morpork. This book goes deeper into dwarf culture, and we learn more about the importance of baked goods and why the Dwarf Bread Museum is so fascinating to Carrot. There is also a fair dose of satirical politics to be found here: just like America needs oil, Ankh-Morpork needs fat, and the finest fat, mostly free of BCBs (burnt crunchy bits) comes from the deep fat mines in Bonk. We also get to learn more about the Igors and Angua's strange, strange family. The down side to this book: as in Night Watch, Vimes is pushed and pulled madly by plot elements all around him, but we never really see him stretched.

Summary: what a great read
Review: Vimes is the best. so are the Igors. It may not be the first about the watch it is probably the best. vimes inter actions with the vampires, dwarfs, and werewolves are great. i think i might just read it again.
