About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
Over 1 million Discworld audiobooks sold – discover the extraordinary universe of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld like never before.
'Sorry?' said Carrot. If it's just a thing, how can it commit murder? A sword is a thing' - he drew his own sword; it made an almost silken sound - 'and of course you can't blame a sword if someone thrust it at you, sir.'
For Commander Vimes, Head of Ankh-Morpork City Watch, life consists of troubling times, linked together by...well, more troubling times.
Right now, it's the latter. There's a werewolf with pre-lunar tension in the city, and a dwarf with attitude and a golem who's begun to think for itself, but that's just ordinary trouble. The real problem is more puzzling - people are being murdered, but there's no trace of anything alive having been at the crime scene.
So Vimes not only has to find out whodunit, but howdunit too. He's not even sure what they dun. But soon as he knows what the questions are, he's going to want some answers.
The Discworld novels can be listened to in any order but Feet of Clay is the third book in the City Watch series.

Great book - not great narration.
I LOVE all the Watch series and have several of the other recordings. I’ve been excitedly waiting for these new ones as I’ve enjoyed the Witches ones I’ve heard so far. Unfortunately, this narration was very disappointing. The narrator speaks so slowly I sometimes wonder if he’s fallen asleep before the end of the sentence. He’s somehow made Nobby and Fred Colon sound 80 which in this book they’re certainly not meant to be. I also really dislike the choice he’s made for Lord Vetinari - and for Wilikins… Vimes’ voice is a good interpretation but that’s about it. I wish I hadn’t wasted two credits excitedly getting the two Watch books I didn’t already have.

Jon Culshaw is AMAZING
Of course Terry Pratchett books are incredible, so I was a bit worried about how this narrator would go. The way he does voices is amazing - all the tricky ones like women, animals (!!!) and all the men’s voices are SOOO different from each other, he kinda… paints them. Looked him up and apparently he’s famous for voice impressionism. All the Vimes books are done by Jon - gosh, I hope the non-Vimes are as good!

A Must
Definitely one of my favourite Pratchett books. Well narrated. They've done very well with these new recordings

My favourite
Feet of Clay is my absolute favourite book. I always love how it explores what it means to be a person - the three interwoven storylines of sentience, gender, and the body you inhabit, and how each of those factors can shape the world you experience.

Almost perfect
The narrator does a great job with nearly every character, but Angua just did not sound right to me. Even when she was shouting, it sounded like a meek simper. Angua is a badass and needs to sound like one, imo.

Feet of Clay
Took me to places hitherto unexplored; questions of moral identity and integrity, where it lies and who has the right to wield it. Pratchett ‘s way of thinking is artfully unique. I’ve learnt so much from this book , my life and vision thereof is richer for having done so ⭐️🩵⭐️

Narrator has ruined Discworld
5 stars as always for Terry Pratchett’s Watch series, and Feet of Clay is no exception. Made me laugh out loud one minute and sob the next.
Jon Culshaw, however, has completely ruined the books with his completely off narration. Has he read the books at all before he started narrating, does he understand the characters at all?! As another reviewer mentioned, he made Angua sound like a wet hen. Carrot was so one-dimensional, Drumknott snivelling. Bring back Nigel Planer - someone who actually gets it!
