Going Postal by Terry Pratchett

Moist von Lipwig a con artist avoids hanging by agreeing to become Postmaster General of the Ankh-Morpork post office which has been closed for 20 years. With the help of a few colourful friends Miss Dearheart, apprentice Stanley, Mr Groat and a golem called Mr Pump he sets out to revive the fortunes of the post office. I am not a Terry Practchett fan. At times I was unsure about the book finding it tough going in places. Nevertheless in parts it is very funny. At times I even laughed out loud. Pratchett fans will not be disappointed.
