I'm halfway through reading this at the moment.
I love the Discworld series and eagerly await each new books release. I can't believe that Pratchett has been writing the series for 25 years!
I love the social satire of the novels, more than the 'fantasy' part. I do find that I can't read too many in a row, I need to break it up with something a bit lighter.
Making Money is definitely further along the social commentary scale of the Discworld novels rather than fantasy. Think along the linesof Going Postal or The Truth. Moist von Lipwig is back and Vetinari features rather heavily, which I always enjoy. There's nothing like a benevolently manipulative tyrant to keep a story moving along.
