This is what a good book should be. It should be thought provoking. It should be a commentary on life. But above all it must, MUST be enjoyable. Terry Pratchett has always been a master of this, and "Feet of Clay" is a fine example of this.The novel is framed as a murder-mysetery, but is not so much of a whodunit as it is a HOWdunit, with the reader anxiously scrabbling for answers along with our protagonist, Commander Sir Samuel Vimes of the City Watch. But tied in is the (mostly) comedic side plot of the possibility that Nobby Nobbs, a man who needs written proof he's not a monkey, may be the heir incumbent to the defunct Earl of Anhk. And something strange is happening with the golems, clay automatons who work ceaselessly and without complaint....And, wound through the whole novel, is the curious motif of freedom, with some searching for it, some trying to snuff it out, and most being too afraid to hold onto it.My only complaint about the novel is the sequences involving Nobby, usually a comedic side character in other books, can become somewhat cringe comedy, and one may find themselves skimming those portions.Also, specifically for the ebook, there is a passage about one quarter to midway, where there is a large blank portion before the story resumes. THIS IS OKAY. I had thought that the book was missing a passage, but after hunting down a physical copy in a bookstore I found it was merely a formatting error. Someone should fix that, but it's not going to effect your reading enjoyment.Do read. Please.
I'm a huge Terry Pratchett fan(RIP, Terry. We'll see you hubwards), so it comes as no surprise that I knew that he could pull off a whodunnit like no one else in the business. And boy, does he.The Night watch series is truly one of a kind...We have Sam Vimes, the most noble ignoble you'll ever hope to meet. His Sgt, Fred Colon, who has a distrust of foreigners unlike anything you've seen this side of the Mississippi. Corporal Cecil Wormsborough St. John "Nobby" Nobbs, who has to carry a card around stating that he is, in fact, human. Corporal Carrot Ironfoundersson, a 6'5" dwarf. Cheery Littlebottom, the first dwarf to identify as female (she even wears lipstick, much to Vimes' confusion). Corporal Detritus, full-time troll, part time genius, All-time battering ram. Angua, part-time werewolf. And a few zombies. Gnomes. And just about everything else that might roam around the disc(save Vampires).It starts out with a man being mummified in a vat of latex used to make...well, "male contraceptives", let's say. And it just gets more insane from there. You never know where the book is going, and that's awesome. It keeps the pages turning, and the laughs coming.
I genuinely love Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels, but I'd like to see the *start* of a Kindle book when I open it for the very first time, and not page 76. Only the Discworld books have done this to me, and at least 10 of the 19 books I've read so far have done this. Why these books would do this, I have no clue, but they keep doing it, and it's more than a little annoying at this point.
Feet of Clay was both another solid entry to the Watch series and an amazing and subtle treatise on personal responsibility, to one's self and one's peers. My takeaway from the main storyline concerning golems was that you cannot be aware of the suffering of others and consider yourself to be truly self-aware. I really appreciate how multi-dimensional the characters of the Discworld books are. Someone who might be a villain or is perceived that way at the beginning of a book becomes an ally by the end, and while the villains can be a little one-dimensional they are still well-written. I spent a long time being aware of the Discworld books and not reading them, and I wish I had tried them earlier in my life. They are always a delight, for the most part full of comedy, vivid descriptions, action, and engaging characters. Vimes, Carrot, Angua, Cheri, Detritus, Sgt. Colon and Nobby are all in top form, especially the latter.
I do not believe in grade inflation and I don't think I have ever rated a book as a 5 before. Even so, I would actually give this one a 7 if I could. If you haven't read any Terry Pratchett, those of us who have will drag you to your first book like converts who love their new religion. And, once you read a book, you too will be converted. But don't worry, we are not a demanding group; all you must do is read as much Pratchett as you like. It doesn't matter in what order you read them. It won't be our fault if you loose your job because you stay home reading all the time. I've read a lot of books by a lot of authors and there is no one close to Terry Pratchett for a good time. If you are not a fantasy fan, don't worry. I'm not either; my teenage son converted me. Once you accept the context that there are wizards and trolls and dwarfs and other creatures around, Discworld, the planet that Pratchett has created, is just like Earth, with the very same kinds of people, regardless of their race, or maybe I mean species. This particular book involves an uprising of the Golems, ancient pottery people which are treated like slaves, and a mystery for the head of the police, Sam Vimes, one of my favorite characters. While Agua and Captain Carrot try to straighten out the Golems, Sam is trying, with little success, to protect Vetinari, who is kind of a benevolent dictator. It's unbelievably funny, in that dry, understated, British way. You absolutely cannot go wrong with a Pratchett Discworld book, and this is a great one to start with.
