BOOKS : Monstrous Regiment
By Terry Pratchet
This was OK, story about a girl who pretends to be a boy and joins the army to find her brother (sound familiar?). It is Terry's book about war, truth, propganda, and how stupid men with dicks are.
It was well written and poignant (not that I know how to spell that word), but after reading Wee Free Men, his best book yet, it is not a surprise that it didn't blow me away. Well worth a read for a bit of serious fun, but I'd go for Wee Free Men first (in fact I am thinking of writing him a letter because I enjoyed Wee Free Men so much - considering I have been reading his stuff for 15+ years that's remarkable)
