		The story is mainly about a potential war, brought on by the rising of a long lost island in the middle of an ocean.
		One particularly dramatic scene in the novel is in the very beginning when the mysterious island of Leshp rose out of the ocean.
		It is a very good novel but it is a bit difficult to follow if you don’t understand the kind of story you are reading.

	So why is he called "71-Hour Ahmed"?!? - Terry Pratchett - Jingo - Epinions.com
		Jingo is another novel in the famous Discworld series by Terry Pratchett (the 21st, in fact), this time dealing with the subjects of war, national pride, and the like.
		This is the case in Jingo, where war seems imminent with the neighbouring country of Klatch, whose Prince just survived an assassination attempt while on a visit to Ankh-Morpork.
		Corporal Carrot (the 7-foot Dwarf… adopted, of course) has probably his biggest role in a Discworld novel apart from Men At Arms, and Sergeant Fred Colon and of course Corporal Nobby are also very much in on the act.

	Terry Pratchett: Jingo
		Jingo does not contain as many laugh-out-loud moments as many of the Discworld novels, but there are still many humorous moments in the book as Pratchett makes his statements about war, but moreso about the nature of mobs, civic pride and nationalism.
		One of the things Pratchett has traditionally done ot achieve the humor in his novel is to weave historical, literary and cinematographic events into the books.
		Jingo continues to reflect the quality of the last watch novel, Feet of Clay and allows the reader to put behind the dark Hogfather.

	Fantasy book reviews - Fantasy Fan
		Pratchett is an author who inspires such devotions that his fans will fall on the novel with cries of joy.
		The best thing to do for those completely new to Pratchett is to sample him for themselves, and this novel is as good a place to start as any.
		The plot is a version of an earlier Discworld novel, Lords and Ladies, with the predatory elves of that novel being replaced here by suave and deadly vampires, and the tiny kingdom of Lancre being defended by its witches.

	Terry Pratchett: The Last Continent
		Pratchett returns to the downside of this trend with The Last Continent, a rambling novel in which the faculty of Unseen University is stuck on a small deserted island and Rincewind must deal with the rather odd natives of the last continent, XXXX.
		It is more philosophical than most of the Discworld novels, but Pratchett doesn't handle the deep philosophizing quite as well as he might have been expected to.
		One of the funniest sequences in the novel is a short piece in which natives of XXXX are trying to out-do each other in nonsensical metaphors, however the humor comes solely with the familiarity of the odd metaphors used by Australians in popular culture.

	By Neddie Jingo!: Et In Arcadia Ego
		There's a novel by Steve Alten called 'Meg' about a killer Sharkasaurus which is truly the worst thing even written by man. He burns through the thesaurus alternatives for 'big' within the first two pages, sometimes even running two descriptions right after one another.
		I might have considered a lawsuit myself, except that the law is possessed of wisdom in these matters, and declares that a fiction writer is perfectly free to lift plots from anywhere he damned well pleases.
		I also like romance novels so the DVC was familiar territory for me. I didn't expect more than a rollicking good time as I skip read it.

		From his classic debut novel, "The Naked and the Dead," to such masterworks of literary journalism as "The Armies of the Night," the two-time Pulitzer Prize winner always got credit for insight, passion and originality.
		Some of Mailer's works were highly praised, some panned, but none was pronounced the Great American Novel that seemed to be his life quest from the time he soared to the top as a brash 25-year-old "enfant terrible."
		Despite heart surgery, hearing loss and arthritic knees that forced him to walk with canes, Mailer retained his enthusiasm for writing and in early 2007 released "The Castle in the Forest," a novel about Hitler's early years, narrated by an underling of Satan.

	Discworld Monthly - Issue 7
		The earlier Discworld novels will always be my favourite, and the slowing down of the zaniness seen in Feet of Clay and the such has made me feel really disappointed...
		SFX said it was much darker and was less "gag-driven" than the average Discworld novel, but I can only think this was written by someone who hasn't read Discworld in quite some time.
		In summary, I can't deny that I was disappointed that Jingo wasn't radically different from previous Discworld novels.

	Science-fiction and fantasy - gay, transgender, lesbian, bisexual book reviews
		Also in Jingo, the Last Continent and the Fifth Elephant transgender is a major element in the new Terry Practchett books.
		Norstilla the novel and the collection of short stories are both excellent choices, the hardcover also merits the price.
		More anthropologically oriented this novel describes the journey of a man grown up on a "socialist utopian" planet who rejects his invention and who finds asylum in a capitalist society.

		Like a character out of a Kafka novel, Remy isn't sure what the purpose of his pursuit is, and yet he pursues.
		The novel falters, however, when Walter tries to sustain the credibility of Remy's frequent memory loss for 300 pages.
		In April, his Citizen Vince won the Edgar Allan Poe Award for best novel, and now he's written a new thriller not only with a conscience but also full of dead-on insights into our culture and its parasitic response to a national tragedy.

	Terry Pratchett -- Available Books
		The 20th Discworld novel is a festive feast of darkness and Death (but with jolly robins and tinsel too).
		In this intensely funny novel, which is part of the science fiction series Discworld, the Night Watch of the capital city Ankh-Morpork experiences political correctness as it must hire a troll, a dwarf, a werewolf and an adopted dwarf who may be the rightful heir to the kingdom.
		Terry Pratchett's 22nd Discworld novel, The Last Continent, is a lighthearted tour of the fantasy land of Fourecks, a very Australian sort of place, with brief courses in theoretical physics and evolution thrown in for good measure.

		This is the best Discworld novel since the last Discworld novel.
		No, I tell a lie, the last Discworld novel, Jingo, despite being about some of my favorite characters (Samuel Vimes and the Watch) wasn't quite up to snuff.
		As with the best of the Discworld books, the ensuing chaos manages to be both sidesplittingly funny and profoundly moving, sometimes at one and the same time, which is no mean feat.

	Terry Pratchett - Jingo (Site not responding. Last check: )
		As with all recent Discworld novels, however, humour tends to come on the second place.
		As far as I'm concerned, "Jingo" is another really good Discworld novel - not the best, certainly not the worst, not the funniest, with a good plot.
		For Discworld afficionados, it might well be possible that they'll never be disappointed - which is the case with this book.
