Guards! Guards! is easily one of my favorite Terry Pratchett books. How can you NOT like it? It's classic Pratchett. Biting commentary, hilarious sideways parody about all manner of things civic related, plus it has dragons in. AND it's the introduction of Ankh-Morpork's City Watch. Guards! Guards also includes one of the best openings of any book I've ever read:
"This is where the dragons went.
They lie ...
Not dead, not asleep. Not waiting, because waiting implies expectation. Possibly the word we're looking for here is ...
.. dormant."
The novel is loads of fun to read and is the beginning of a excellent series of stories featuring the escapades of the City Watch.
