As always Terry Pratchett writes an captivating story about Disc World. While highly entertaining, compelling and readable it is not his best work.
Perhaps the second book to involve the loveable rogue Moist Von Lipwig comes too soon after Going Postal and Moist certainly doesn't show as much flair managing the Royal Mint as he did with the Post Office.
While Going Postal felt like riding the roller coaster with Moist as he twists in and out of situations, Making Money is more like the carousel: fun in a subdued and slow kinda way.
Another worrying trend with the Disc World novels is repetition. While Pratchett is building upon the DiscWorld universe with new characters and ever evolving Ankh Morpork, I don't feel he is doing it in new ways. There are several reused analogies, synonyms and jokes from past books. I can understand how keeping things consistent from book to book gives us the reader a sense of familiarity and that the story is part of a continuing universe. However we do not need anymore jokes in the format \"He was so he was approaching from the other side.\"

While with the earlier books I was frequently laughing out loud, this time there were merely the occasional chuckle. Sorry to have to say this book is no where near the excellent standard of Pratchett at his best and is just passably ordinary.
Bring back the Witches and Wizards I say.
