Series ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
Making Money
Terry Pratchett · 2007
🎙 Narrated by Stephen Briggs
Pratchett's banking satire is sharp and the farcical mechanics of confidence-in-money are expertly paced — this is Discworld doing what it does best. New readers will find it funny but potentially disorienting; the book works best with Going Postal familiarity, and the adult-humored subplot limits its fit as a clean family recommendation. Stephen Briggs is the gold standard for Pratchett narration and brings exactly the right register of haughty officialdom to the Ankh-Morpork Mint.
✦ Penny’s Take — this is The Review Group’s own editorial assessment. Penny’s analytical review line researched this book from real sources and scored it across the lenses shown below. It’s an honest first-party read — not a page-by-page personal one. The gold ✓ Penny Tested mark is reserved for books Penny reads cover to cover herself.
⚠ Parent note — our reviewers flagged: adult-humor-sexual-innuendo · death-character · freemasonry-references · comic-violence. We still scored it 74; these are context for your family, not an automatic skip.
🎙 Narration: excellent Stephen Briggs has earned multiple AudioFile Earphones Awards for Pratchett titles and is widely considered the definitive series narrator — his performance here is praised specifically for filling the novel with the haughty tones of old money and institutional trouble.
