Summary

Polly Perks had to become a boy in a hurry. Cutting off her hair and wearing trousers was easy. Learning to fart and belch in public and walk like an ape took more time. And now she's enlisted in the army, and searching for her lost brother.

But there's a war on. There's always a war on. And Polly and her fellow recruits are suddenly in the thick of it, without any training, and the enemy is hunting them. All they have on their side is the most artful sergeant in the army and a vampire with a lust for coffee. Well...they also have the Secret. And as they take the war to the heart of the enemy, they have to use all the resources of the Monstrous Regiment.

Critic reviews

"Like Jonathan Swift, Pratchett uses his other world to hold up a distorting mirror to our own, and like Swift he is a satirist of enormous talent...incredibly funny...compulsively readable." ( The Times)

A match for Stephen Fry, who needs television

I know my narrators and boy is Tony Robinson goooood, he is unbelievable. As you know the narrator is key for us listeners and he doesn't miss a joke or the fact that he totally gets Terry Pratchett., his world and his humour. This is genius from start to finish. The storyline is fantastic, the exchanges are exquisite , most of all there's magic created between them both, Tony Robinson was destined to narrate this book and many many others, thankfully!

Half the story missing

So much has been cut. It’s such a good reading, TR is brilliant, but I can’t recommend.

So Much Missing

Too much of the book missing to enjoy it having read the real book already. Mr Robinson is fabulous as always though.
