Acerca de esta escucha

Brought to you by Penguin.

Over 1 million Discworld audiobooks sold – discover the extraordinary universe of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld like never before.

'Don't put your trust in revolutions. They always come round again. That's why they're called revolutions. People die, and nothing changes.'

For a policeman, there can be few things worse than a serial killer loose in your city. Except, perhaps, a serial killer who targets coppers, and a city on the brink of bloody revolution.

For Commander Sam Vimes, it all feels horribly familiar. Caught on the roof of a very magical building during a storm, he's found himself back in his own rough, tough past without even the clothes he was standing up in when the lightning struck. Living in the past is hard, especially when your time travel companion is a serial killer who knows where you live. But he must survive, because he has a job to do: track down the murderer and change the outcome of the rebellion.

The problem is: if he wins, he's got no wife, no child, no future...

The Discworld novels can be listened to in any order but Night Watch is the sixth book in the City Watch series.

'The best Discworld book in the whole world ever. Until next time.' SFX

but some of the caricatures were difficult to understand because of the narrator. better to give up acting and just read.

this is probably my favorite Pratchett book

I loved listening to it.

I’m glad the rest of the series isn’t as hard and angry as this book, but I am also glad that this one is.

Possibly the best Discworld book

Sam Vimes + Sam Vimes. And I'm here for it!
Falling deeper and deeper in love with the Night Watch, and this time around with the old crew instead of the new recruits. Can't get enough, but I can definitely get the next one!

Love them copper stories.

Night Watch is one of, if not the best Discworld books-though darker and with less humor than many. Maybe not the best choice if you have never before read any Pratchett novels/Discworld books.
The narrator on the “Guards” series is really fantastic-he’s got distinct voices for each character, they all sound different, and the majority of them actually sound like what I imagine in my head when I’m reading the print copy.
I listened to this a while ago, and had to give it some time before a re-listen, as it does hit hard. There isn’t a lot of violence, but the violence is personalized and I think because of that, it sinks in differently. It’s a great listen, by a brilliant writer, brought to life by a wonderful narrator.

Fantastic Book, Amazing Narrator

Night Watch is possibly my favorite Discworld novel. Granted some of the humor of the others isn’t there and the story has a harsh ending. But STP had a harsh message to get across and no other author could have made it so immersive and compelling.

Possibly the best

Night Watch is my favorite Discworld novel, so I was ecstatic when I discovered it was finally released to the US from its region lock in mid-May.
This is a beautiful, well-acted re-recording for the audiobook. Compared to the older audiobook recordings, I feel the newer recordings strike an excellent balance between Pratchett’s humor and the severity of the concepts Pratchett discusses in his books and that this balance lends itself particularly well to the darker atmosphere and tone of Night Watch.
I’ve immensely enjoyed John Culshaw’s recordings for the rest of the City Watch audiobooks as well, so I’m so glad to now be able to appreciate his recording of Night Watch.

To steal from a cover blurb review from Guardian—“it has profound, moral complexity, hard emotional impact, careful plotting, gritty political insight and, best of all, raw, urgent humanity.”
It is a story for the times written with love and with anger. It reads quickly and does not waste space. It is a novel in conversation with Les Mis (to call it a direct, simple satire of it is an egregious disservice and understatement), but it is a practical, gritty conversation—there aren’t any catchy melodies or trajectories from earthliness to godliness or heroes—there is just history running its course and people doing a job they did not have to do, but did anyway because it was in front of them and because we are here, and this is now. It is an antidote to apathy and encourages consideration of when it’s time to light a candle in the dark or a flamethrower.

💜💜 Night Watch at last

It feels funny writing a negative review on a TP novel but I didn’t enjoy this at all. Almost no humor, a boring plot, no likable characters although here we meet almost every night watch member. The narration is done seriously - not the insouciant style of Stephen Briggs or Nigel Planer so perhaps that also sabotaged the enjoyment. But after plugging away for 9 hours I wondered why not switch to something I’d like. So I did.
I must comment that the magic of the right narrator was missing - and seems to be missing from the newer recordings. Too sad.

No humor no magic

Normally I can blaze through the Discworld audiobooks (the old ones), this one is read so slowly that it actually slows me to a crawl to the point of not listening anymore. And that's a shame. I'm sure Jon Culshaw did his best, but this isn't his greatest work.

The story is awesome as always but narration isn't great

I was very disappointed with the performances. I had heard another one a few years ago that was so much better. The different characters sound alike and sometimes I find it hard to understand the dialogue. Just disappointed.

Enjoyed the book, this audio book not so much
