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.
'Neighbours... hah. People'd live for ages side by side, nodding at one another amicably on their way to work, and then some trivial thing would happen and someone would be having a garden fork removed from their ear.'
When the neighbours in question are the proud empires of Klatch and Ankh-Morpork, those are going to be some pretty large garden tools indeed. Of course, no-one would dream of starting a war without a perfectly good reason...such as a 'strategic' piece of old rock in the middle of nowhere.
It is after all every citizen's right to bear arms to defend their own. Even if it isn't technically their own. And even if they don't have much in the way of actual weaponry. As two armies march, Commander Vimes of Ankh-Morpork City Watch faces unpleasant foes who are out to get him... and that's just the people on his side. The enemy might be even worse.
The Discworld novels can be listened to in any order but Jingo is the fourth book in the City Watch series.
'Generous, amusing and the ideal boarding point for those who have never visited Discworld' Sunday Telegraph

A fun story, performed very entertainingly
I particularly enjoyed the performances of Nobby and Colon - but it was all great

a brilliant adaptation!
I was so excited for these new STP audiobooks and Jingo does not disappoint! The voice acting is fantastic and and I forgot how funny the story was. I can't wait to listen to the next one!

I really enjoyed the complexity of these events. Each character reacted so perfectly and I couldn't help but laugh.

The series keep getting better
I struggled with the narrator in the first few of the series but I am on board with character voice choices now. The stories are excellent and the performance continues to improve

A great and cutting parody of war
Like all Discworld books, this is great. But more than most, it is a deeper parody on some of the flaws of our society and a great belly laugh on hierarchical culture. Read it for sheer enjoyment or satirical brilliance.

Another Discworld masterpiece ruined
Penguin have made an absolute dog’s breakfast of the Watch Series. Sam Vimes has always been my favourite character, and I must have read the Watch Series 20 times over, but I can’t even listen to an hour of this slow-paced monotonous drivel. Jon Culshaw doesn’t understand the characters at all, and pauses dramatically every 4-5 words. Even on 1.25 speed it’s horrendous. Jingo is one of the best books STP has written so it’s extremely disappointing. What a shame.

Terrible narration
The Nigel Planer one was so much more enjoyable. This is dull and uninspiring.
Such a shame for such a great story
