I'm WILD about

I liked Making Money a lot, Mr Bent's origin is cool and the Golem standard (I take it this was a reference to marxism and the value of labour?) is awesome. The highlight of the book had to be the blind letter office, the twisted logic of it all and the reminder of just how clever the Patrician is was great. I know it was just setup for the Patrician adopting Mr Fusspot but I was sad to read that Wuffles had died. Moist is a wonderful tool to show how various large institutions works in a humourous manner and always making you wonder about why a con artist is so very suited to running said institutions. I hope we get to see his next hinted at adventure.

I do have one plot question though, When the gold starts raining into the vault Moist laments that things had "been going so well..." surely extra gold is a good thing now the currency is based on Golems, its just a large amount of a valueable tradeable commodity? Or is he just upset the moment with Adora has been ruined?

Books like Masquerade, Jingo and Hogfather were real duds though
I really like Jingo and Hogfather, and Masquerade isn't bad, what did you find so unappealing about them?
