Publisher Description

Who's murdering harmless old men? Who's poisoning the Patrician? As autumn fogs hold Ankh-Morpork in their grip, the City Watch has to track down a murderer who can't be seen.

Maybe the golems know something - but the solemn men of clay, who work all day and night and are never any trouble to anyone, have started to commit suicide...

It's not as if the Watch hasn't got problems of its own. There's a werewolf suffering from Pre-Lunar Tension, Corporal Nobbs is hob-nobbing with the nobs, and there's something really strange about the new dwarf recruit, especially his earrings and eyeshadow.

Who can you trust when there are mobs on the street and plotters in the night and all the clues point the wrong way? In the gloom of the night, Watch Commander Sir Samuel Vimes finds that the truth may not be out there after all...

"In Feet of Clay Vimes has satisfactorily resolved his questions about career and home, Carrot has risen to the post of Captain himself, and most of his fellow guards seem to have settled in. Then the head of the Dwarf Bread Museum (one of Carrot's favorite places in the city) is found beaten to death by one of his own loaves and that's just the first in a series of mysterious murders. Even the Patrician finds himself poisoned"

    " This was another delightful Discworld installment. I did enjoy the development of the Watch as well as the relationship between Carrot and Angua. "

    " This is a City Watch book, and possibly the most affecting. Down below the levels of adventure, mystery, humor, and fantasy, this is a story about what exactly makes one human, and what happens when people's ideas about that come into contact with reality in all its glorious mess. "

    " I enjoyed this book, like I enjoy all Terry Pratchett novels. Loved the Patrician and Samuel Vimes in this one, not to mention Carrot etc. Cleverly written humor and descriptions. Just as good as all the other Discworld novels. "

    " Terry Pratchett is usually amusing, but in this book it just seemed like he was going through the motions. It introduces Cheery the dwarf, and has some interesting ideas about machines (golems, actually) that make copies of themselves. My favorites from this series are the books starring Death, and Thief of Time. "

    " Yay! Another good 'un on the Disc. I have to admit, I do love me some Sam Vimes. Also the Patrician. Also Angua. And Fred Colon grew on me. I didn't care much for Cheery though, I have to admit, despite the Fun With Gender. "

    " I think the Night Watch books are Pratchett's best. Except maybe for the Witches series. Or maybe the Tiffany Aching stories. Never mind, I can't decide. Pratchett is a treasure and I want to own every one of his books. "

    " This is one of the best books on the Discworld novels. Not only the characters I like the most (the Night Watch) but also the theme. What makes some(thing?) alive? Really enjoyed it. "

    " I really enjoyed the book up until the ending, which was rather long and drawn out. And though I respect the beliefs of others, I don't understand the reason why Pratchett's novels tend to lead up to an evangelical atheism message at the end. Just kinda grinds things to a halt. "
