One of my favourites in this series.
amazon.com's "product description"
One moment, Sir Sam Vimes is in his old patrolman form, chasing a sweet-talking psychopath across the rooftops of Ankh-Morpork. The next, he's lying naked in the street, having been sent back thirty years courtesy of a group of time-manipulating monks who won't leave well enough alone. This Discworld is a darker place that Vimes remembers too well, three decades before his title, fortune, beloved wife, and impending first child. Worse still, the murderer he's pursuing has been transported back also. Worst of all, it's the eve of a fabled street rebellion that needlessly destroyed more than a few good (and not so good) men. Sam Vimes knows his duty, and by changing history he might just save some worthwhile necks -- though it could cost him his own personal future. Plus there's a chance to steer a novice watchman straight and teach him a valuable thing or three about policing, an impressionable young copper named Sam Vimes.
Offering this up as a bookray! If you're interested, let me know.

Received the book this morning! I'll start reading it this week. I will post again with my comments on the book when I'll be done with it and when I'll send it to the next person on the list.
I had quite a good time reading this book. It started a bit slow but when you get into it, you don't want to put it down!! Anyway, it's well written, has good jokes and the story is condensed in a few days of the life of the main character. My only negative point is about the structure of the book: it lacks proper chapters separation [made it a little bit hard for me when I wanted to stop reading it]. Overall, I enjoyed it and hope everyone else in this bookring will too.
The book has been sent to bartonz this morning, June 28th, by airmail. So, it should arrived next week!

Not one of my favorites in the series. I managed to plow through the whole thing, and the story was okay, but it just didn't appeal to me as much as some of Pratchett's other Discworld books.

I love this series !
Well, there wasn't much of the Librarian in this book but it was a great read anyway !
You can't stop reading it - well, obviously enough you had, in order to eat or sleep (or work !), but it's hard to stop : yes, this is addiction ;-)
I'm waiting for Kryssa's address now.
