Ja, ich hätte mir auch ein anderes Thema als Moist van Lipwig gewünscht, nachdem "Going Postal" ja gerade erst erschienen war. Ein wenig Abwechslung in den Hauptpersonen hält die Scheibenwelt interessant.
Trotzdem ist das Wiedersehen mit Moist van Lipwig in bekannter Terry Prachett-Manier angenehm, unterhaltsam und kurzweilig. Vielleicht ist der Anschluss an das Vorgängerbuch für viele Leser zu logisch, doch ich finde, dass Making Money definitiv zu den besseren Discworld-Büchern gehört.
Parallel zur realen ökonomischen Diskussion stellt sich die Frage, ob eine Bank wirklich Gold als Sicherheit für ausgegebenes Geld benötigt. In Notzeiten kann man dieses nicht einmal essen, wären Kartoffeln als Sicherheit demnach nicht viel sinnvoller?
Der verrückte Professor ist in diesem Fall Hubert mit seinem Igor, und erinnert an all die Computer-Spezialisten, die mit virtuellen Modellen die Wirtschaft vorhersagen wollen. Eine Figur, die zur Discworld ...

What a boring read. Moist stumbles through the (long) story which has some resemblance to going postal. But unfortunately he isn't the going postal Lipwig who charms himself out of dire situations and sets stakes far too high to be reachable only to cleverly find a way of which no one could have possibly thought before, after all he was hanged already........... this time he is outsmarted by policemen, neither his new comrades nor his new enemies are as brilliant as the completely postal ones and he doesn't seem to be a match for Adora Bell dearheart who should probably be the next main charakter in one of the hopefully neverending discworld novels. After all she is far more interesting and spiky, whereas moist seems rather lost and featureless.
Three stars from me bcs. it's a medium read, were this a only Prattchet rating it would definitively be lower........

In "Going Postal", Pratchett introduced Moist von Lipwig, a condemned confidence trickster, at his "end", hanged at the order of Ankh-Morpork's Patrician, Havelock Vetinari. It wasn't Moist who was executed, however, but Albert Spangler, his most frequently used alias. That identity was swept away to enable Lord Vetinari's wish to rejuvenate the City's postal system. Moist was up to the task, transforming an ancient, creaking and nearly obsolete civil service into a humming success. The rejuvenation kept the post office a City institution instead of divested into greedy, private hands.
But success isn't Moist's desired state. He craves danger, illicit activity, deception and the thrill of the chase. To keep his hand in, he must break into his own post office! Vetinari didn't spare Moist on a whim. He knows his man and his methods, deftly manoeuvring the talented thief for his own ends. "Tyrant" or no, Vetinari lives for the City of Ankh-Morpork, using whatever means available ...

Yes, of course, all the other reviewers are right - this is not a really totally absolutely new masterpiece, but hey, we buy Pratchett because we like more of the same. And Moist von Lipwig is ok as a protagonist, Lord V is wonderfully tyrannical - I mean, we don't really expect anything to change in Ankh M.
Maybe I got more laughs out of this novel because I (wisely?) bought the CD version, read by genius Tony Robinson. The audio version might also be abbreviated, so all the boring bits are missing, but the good ones are still there, like the Nichtlachen-Keinwortz Syndrome bank clerk Bent is suffering from. Yup, I definitely had a wonderful week going to and back from work with Tony and Terry providing the entertainment.

Well, here we have it, Terry's 2nd installment in the Discworld-Moist von Lipwig Series. And what do I thin k of it? Well first of all, I have to admitt, that in all his Discworld-series Im mostly into the whitches an Sam Vimes. Moist turns out to be too much troubled an too much, well... predictable?!. All in all, the story's well written - as expected, and as well designed as any other of his novels. There are enaugh puns, enaugh twists an' far to much criticisms on modern society to be boring - or to be memorable... choose as you wish. Nevertheless the bood is fun, it is fastpacing and writen in typical "prattchet"... it has it funny moments, and it's puns, it's quotes and it's polarizations... but in my opinion it lacks a villain... but when Adora and Moist share a dinner on sheapshed... with sunglasses, because moist can't eat anything that looks him in the eye... oh well...
so be sure to go on the typicall prattchet-ride, be sure to gett everything that you wanted for... ...
