Here there be dragons ... and the denizens of Ankh-Morpork wish one huge firebreather would return from whence it came. Long believed extinct, a superb specimen of draco nobilis ("noble dragon" for those who don't understand italics) has appeared in Discworld's greatest city. Not only does this unwelcome visitor have a nasty habit of charbroiling everything in its path, in rather short order it is crowned King (it is a noble dragon, after all ...).

Copy paste from my review of Pyramids:
“Same as my opinion of Equal Rites. Terry Pratchett tries to be funny at every sentence he writes. He is witty, but this is far from tingling my sense of humor. I wonder when his books start to get good?”

Probably the first book since The Colour of Magic to really fire on all cylinders.
Great characters, amusingly sardonic narration, and a certain cynical optimism about human beings. I'm glad I gave Discworld another try, having been less than thrilled with The Color of Magic and The Light Fantastic.
