Feet of Clay Completed Read for 7 Hrs.
Taking place in Ankmorpork, a huge city, Feet of Clay is about several murders and their mysteries. The first victim is an old man, who is a priest. The second is a dwarf, also an old man, who bakes weapons.( Yes, in this book the dwarfs BAKE weapons, some of their items include Battle bread, and Throwing Scones) It’s up to the Watch( Policemen) to find the murder and unravel how it connects with the poisoning of their ruler.
I like this book, a lot, because it covers all the bases I look for in a book. It has an exciting plot line with a deep mystery, combined with a descriptive, insightful, and funny writing style that makes the book a great read. It also has some points about human nature that are extremely true, but never really brought up.
In one scene, the ruler ( before he was poisoned) talks to the commander of the Watch about why he has ruled so long. He talks about how most people think that what they want is a good honest government run by good honest people that does good things. He states that what they really want is to have consistency, things to stay the same. I find this very true, because unless people are unhappy with the government. They want things to stay the same.
A great book and read, 5 *STARS*.
