Title: Cliché and so predictable it made me want to cry
Product review: This book seems perfect for a light read. It has catchy characters and an okay plot.Actually, don't read this even as a light read unless you enjoy the "guilty pleasure" of reading novels with way too many adverbs. Monstrous Regiment is completely formulaic, and seems to be written by a machine and not a person. It is so shallow and badly thought out that it's nauseating.I liked Pratchett's the Wee Free Men better. That was easily funny, whereas Monstrous Regiment is trying too hard. Don't read it unless you're a diehard Terry Pratchett fan. Or a masochist, that too.SPOILER:By the end of the book, it's revealed that everyone is a woman. This annoys me no end- it's predictable and yet so stupid that you have to wonder whether Pratchett was conscious when he wrote it.
