**Warning**
This thread is for discussing Night Watch in some depth. If you haven’t read the book then read on at your own risk – or, better still, go and read the book and join in the fun.
For those of us that are going to join in the discussion, here are a few guidelines:
Please feel free to make comparisons to other Discworld books, making sure you identify the book and the passage you are referring to. Others may not be as familiar with the book you are referencing, so think before you post.
Sometimes we’ll need to agree to disagree – only Terry knows for sure what he was thinking when he wrote the books and individuals members may have widely different interpretations – so try to keep the discussion friendly.
We may be discussing a book that you don’t much care for – don’t be put off joining in the discussion. If you didn’t care for the book, then that in itself is a good topic for discussion.
Please note: there is no time limit to this discussion. Please feel free to add to it at any time - especially if you've just read the book.
And finally:
Please endeavour to keep the discussion on topic. If necessary I will step in and steer it back to the original topic – so no digressions please!

Night Watch by Terry Pratchett
Originally published 2002
Introduction
In hot pursuit of deranged killer, Carcer, Sam Vimes and his foe are catapulted back in time 30 years to a somewhat different Ankh-Morpork. Sam needs to make sure history repeats itself (as much as possible) and at the same time teach his younger self to be a good copper.
How do they rise up?
--------------------------------------------
Sorry I’m so late posting this – I only just finished it yesterday and I’ve had all sorts of problems on another site. Sometimes traveling back in time seems like an awfully good idea.
Anyhow, this really is a good book – gripping from start to finish. It’s great to get some of the history of A-M – especially the early years of Vetinari and the line of corrupt patricians that came before him.
It’s kind of interesting that this book hints at events that took place in Thief of Time and it’s always good to see Lu Tze.
But what did you think of it?
