Imagine a book that is so sinister and gloomy it is disturbingly creepy to read. Imagine a book that has so many deep,hidden themes that you'll be thinking about it for weeks to come. Imagine a book that is so controversial you'll begin to question everything and everyone around you. Now think of the exact opposite and you get Feet of Clay, one of the books in Terry Pratchett's great Discworld series.
This book is simply a great, fun read. It's packed full of good humor and lively characters. Reading this book is actually fun. Where and when better to base a funny book than in the city of Ankh-Morpork in the medieval/fantasy era we all know and love. The book has it all-goblins,dwarfs, dragons and lots more are all brilliantly protrayed and are so brimming with character you can nearly shake their hands (or paws or tentacles....).
Most of the book revolves around the Ankh-Morpork City Watch (police). While Commander Vimes,head of the watch, is trying to unravel the mystery of who's poisoning Lord Vetinari, Corporal Nobbs, a simple officer,has found out he is the Earl of Ankh-Morpork and Cheery Littlebottom, the watches dwarfish alchemist, is starting to show her feminine side. All these and many more plots weave together excellently to form a gripping climax.
However, it's not all fun and games.Like most books there are a few hidden meanings and themes. Most of the themes are religious issues and things like "what defines something as living" and " sould man have the power of life over others". I must point out that this book isn't meant to be full of moral issues and if you're looking for a deep and meaningful book you should look elsewhere.
Pratchett writes in a very 'bouncy'way, it's very lively and i find it very pleasant and refreshing. The speech in Feet of Clay way very natural and not always important to the plot. Lots of the humor in the book is in reading the characters chat( about things like dwarfish table- dancers and paying gargoyles in pigeons).
One thing I noticed is that the book has no chapters. I'm not sure if this is a good thing but it does make the book hard to put down because ther's not definite place to stop.
This is a must read for all fantasy lovers and anyone who wants something to tickle their funny bone. I will definitely read the rest fo the Discworld series now. Feet of Clay is an enthralling, fun novel that will grab you by the eyeballs and wont let go till you're finished it.

This is one of Pratchett's best works. As a Discworld fan, this is a must read. For a new reader, you might want to read "Men at Arms" first. Some new characters are introduced in this book, like Dorfl the golem, a lot will appear again in other books. In short, Feet of Clay will keep you laughing till the last page.

I love Discworld and I'm tired of hearing Pratchett compared to Douglas Adams. They're both British and write humor. However, Adams writes wacky inane things which are funny, whereas Pratchett writes wacky satire which is funny. Feet of Clay is not quite as good as some of what came before it; Guards! Guards! in particular is my favorite discworld novel; but I was glad to see the Watch back in this book, and it's good to see old characters again. A good book but I'd reccommend other books in the series to start out with; this one has a few too many in-jokes.
