Editing Jingo (novel) (section)

==Reception==
In ''[[Interzone (magazine)|Interzone]]'', [[John Clute]] described ''Jingo'' as fitting "seamlessly" into the Discworld, commenting that it does not "dishonour its predecessors in the series" and "is in fact better than most of them". Clute also compared Pratchett's writing to that of [[P. G. Wodehouse]], and noted the presence of "totemic moments", and of several scenes which he felt to be "[[Homily#Other senses|homilies]]".<ref name=Clute>[https://books.google.com/books?id=eI6PDQAAQBAJ&dq=jingo+pratchett+review&pg=PT150 Been Bondage Done That], by [[John Clute]], originally published in ''[[Interzone (magazine)|Interzone]]'' #126 (December 1997); archived in "Scores", by John Clute; published November 24, 2016 by [[Orion Publishing Group]]</ref>

''[[Escape Pod (podcast)|Escape Pod]]'' stated that a significant portion of the plot is "Vimes subverting the status quo in ways that shouldn't work, but somehow do anyway".<ref name=Escape>[http://escapepod.org/2011/11/05/book-review-snuff-by-terry-pratchett/ "Book Review: 'Snuff' by Terry Pratchett"], at ''[[Escape Pod (podcast)|Escape Pod]]''; published November 5, 2011; retrieved June 30, 2017</ref><!--I'm citing a review of "Snuff" here because the reviewer *compared it to* "Jingo"--> The ''[[SF Site]]'' ranked it "above ''[[Feet of Clay (novel)|Feet of Clay]]'' but not quite as good as ''[[Guards! Guards!]]''", considering that "The story stumbles a bit, especially once the action moves to Klatch, and there are few nitpicky things here and there", but concluding that it is nonetheless "a fine addition" to the Discworld.<ref name=SFSite>[https://www.sfsite.com/06b/jing35.htm Jingo], reviewed by Todd Richmond, at the ''[[SF Site]]''; published 1998; retrieved June 30, 2017</ref>
