Monstrous Regiment, by Terry Prachett

Summary: Polly decides to go join the army to find her brother. In the mean time, she meets an interesting group of people and has some adventures.

Reaction: The short version is "OMG best book EVAR". The long version would explain that I probably shouldn't say that because of the high probablility of that phrase getting attached to multiple books, and you can't really have several "best" books unless there's some other adjective in there. Regardless, it was still a wonderful book, between the plot twist, the amusing comments, the happily ever after, the moral, etc. I really should have written down some of the amusing lines I came across so I can add them to my collection of amusing quotes. Oh well, I can do that next time. And of course there will be a next time because it was that good of a book. And I think I need to buy a copy so it can live on my bookshelf and I can read it whenever I want (not that I will, but that way I can).

Oh look, I didn't actually post this because I got distracted looking for books about the Andrews Raid. In particular, Wild Train, but also anything else I could find... I think this has something to do with "books to stick on my bookshelf".
