The Fifth Elephant by Terry Pratchett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Published : 6/11/2008
Author: Terry Pratchett

Another amazing book written by an amazing author! In this book we see the characters Nobby Nobbs, the wonderful Sam Vines, Havelock Vetinari , Carrot Ironfoundsson plus many more amazing characters. The setting of this novel is Uberwald. This is book 5 in the City Watch part in the Discworld novels.
This is another great book that transports us into the world that he has created, we go on the adventure with the characters, get to know them and enjoy the adventure with them. Terry Pratchett has a way with words that paints a vivid picture in the readers mind, even though I didn't find this book as funny as the others it is still a brilliant incredible story. I really really enjoyed reading this book.
The words that Terry Pratchett uses are so brilliant and powerful that they can make you feel like you are there, make you picture the Discworld like it is actually a real place and that all the people features are real too. It is one of them kind of books that you can sit down and read and not notice that hours have gone by without you moving, eating, sleeping, blinking or doing anything at all! This book really does caught your attention and hooks your mind not letting you go it keeps bringing you back to reading it. This to me is a sign of a really great book!
Each of the characters add something brilliant too the novel, they add in the humor and they add depth too the novel making it feel extremely realistic too the reader. It is definately one that can be read many times without it getting bored, and it is also one that I will treasure always and never be able to part with it. I love Terry Pratchett books and I particularly love this book!
