I've never heard of him, so I can honestly say I have no idea if it's my thing or not. That said, the fact that it's a war novel is not the reason I really enjoy Jingo, so possibly not.
Nice to meetcha! I must check out Pratchett -- I have friends who are huge fans, so have been meaning to for ages -- thanks for the reminder, and the review!
Haven't read much Pratchett, but I have Good Omens out. Gaiman + Pratchett = masterpiece? Is that true?

I need to read more Terry Pratchet . . . if there's one author I should have read and haven't, it's him.
Thanks for subbing! =)

I must re-read Jingo.
Just to check: dumbest characters = Colin & Nobby?
Side-note: Girls should fall for Carrot, not Edward or Jacob lol

Yes, I mean Colon and Nobby.
And I agree. As much as he would drive me nuts, Carrot is *way* better than Edward or Jacob.

So, is it about war? Or something else. . . I've just woken up so I'm a bit slow :)

Yes. At it's simplest it is about war. However there's a lot more there than a commentary on war

ah. Doubt it's your thing, but are you into any of Bernard Cornwell's books?
