I thought that "Jingo" was a bit sub-par, but I also found that it
improved enormously on re-reading. It's certainly much darker than most
of Pterry's stuff, which may put people off. You could argue that it's an
earlier, less successful run at "Night Watch", which I thought excellent,
and am intending to see if a re-read will have the same effect.
