Arch-swindler Moist Van Lipwig, instead of hanging for his confidence crimes, is given the job of Postmaster by supreme ruler Lord Vetinari. Resuscitating the moribund Postal Service might be an impossible task, with literally mountains of decades-old undelivered mail clogging every part of the broken-down post office building. Worse, Moist could swear the mail is talking to him.

Review of 'Going Postal' on 'Goodreads'

5 estrellas

One of my favourite Discworld books so far! It is funny as usual, but also incredibly deep and touching and smart and weirdly political as well. The golems have become complex characters, pondering freedom and happiness. The swindler must be good to keep up the facade of being good. The postal system faces technology and hackers are involved in its downfall that implies a rescue and rejuvenation of the system itself.
Definitely Terry Pratchett at his very best! Will be returning to this one for sure.
