Making Money = Making Pleasure - By: Mr. A. Sell, 30 Dec 2008 
While some may say it doesn't live up to Terry's past works I would dissagree. I found it wonderful!
In the same way that we've been able to follow Sam Vimes through his adventures & growth we can now see how falling out with Lord Vetinari Havelock has a longer lasting effect than one might think. Rather than just a one adventure wonder we see how Mr Von Lipwig applies his very special skills to an even greater challenge.
I found the storyline good & as always Terry has youin there living every moment. As always the story appears over two thirds of the way through but as always the final twist has you entrapped so you can't put it down.
For me an excellant addition to the Discworld series & one I can reread again & again so excellant value as always!
Making a mint, Discworld-style - By: Jeremy Bevan, 20 Dec 2008 
The one where Moist von Lipwig makes a mint, pursues his sweetheart, & saves the city from its enemies using Golem power. Like its predecessor `Going Postal', this is a rather more serious story, with a good deal of wry musing on economics, the essential cluelessness of the financial system, & the human/machine interface. Absorbing enough, but not the same level of sustained comic entertainment as earlier worksin the series.
Collateral Custard saves the day. Genius. - By: MinnieMoocher, 20 Nov 2008 
Utterly stupendous ending saves this Pratchett Discworld novel of moderate worth.
Only a genius could come up with such a barmy original idea as Collateral Custard.
Mr Bent & Collateral Custard save the day
A tale for today - By: J. Hood, 12 Oct 2008 Reading this as the financial institutions of the real world totter & shudder made me wish that Moist von Lipwig had been around to run Lehman brothers. Its take on finance & economic modelling was very funny, though for me the funniest single moment was the reaction of Vetinari to - not to spoil the fun - the unexpected offer of dessert. A sparkling comic novel for our times...
Chuckle double effect! - By: Stephanie Noverraz, 01 Oct 2008 Making Money is a Discworld novel & features the Manin the Golden Suit, Ankh-Morpork's Postmaster Moist von Lipwig.
Moist is bored. He misses his old, more adventurous life, back when he was Albert Spangler the con artist. So when he's not running the Post Office, he likes climbing to its roof at night, & has already picked all its locks.
But when Mrs Topsy Lavish, chairwoman & owner of 50% of the Royal Bank of Ankh-Morpork, but owner also of Mr. Fusspot the dog who owns 1%, dies & leaves her shares to her dog & bequeaths Mr. Fusspot to Moist... he has no choice but try & make it work again.
It starts with the Mint, which actually runs at a loss. Since making coins costs too much & people are already using stamps as currency, Moist devises the first bank notes, which soon have the same success as his stamps.
In the meantime, Cosmo Lavish tries to take Vetinari's identity & Moist's girlfriend Adora Belle Dearheart uncovers ancient golems buriedin the desert. And all the while the Glooper gloops.
I really like the character of Moist von Lipwig & was glad to read about him again. The book is of course filled with references that make you chuckle twice: when you get them, & when you find yourself clever because to got them... it's the Discworld double effect!
