There are other performers who can read Pratchett's writing well - Nigel Planer generally does a good job - but no one seems to get inside the story the way Briggs can. And, as always, Stephen Briggs reads Pratchett's work exactly the way it wants to be read, with energy and understanding and a straight face. No one else can write like Pratchett, and no one else should try. Part of Pratchett's genius is that he can be funny, even farcical, without being mean, and that comes through strongly in this story, with his trademark mix of whimsy, cheap shots, social commentary, and a truly engaging and hilarious plot and cast.
Set in Ankh Morpork, where the story can brush up against long-standing favorites like Vimes, the Patrician, and the wizards, Going Postal introduces a new cast of characters, and with them, a new energy.
Like all prolific writers, however brilliant, Terry Pratchett has his ups and downs.
