He has a very humane world view. Night Watch is my favourite of his because this comes across most clearly, parts are political in nature in truth. However his books are, in the main, not political. But nevertheless they are always on the side of the underdog, he wants to represent the common man or woman (or dwarf or troll!) In the street, he treats all his characters with affection and he has contempt for the powerful who use their power irresponsibly. I think this is especially true in the Watch novels. His books are never mean spirited or overly cynical, they are ultimately warm and celebrate the person.

They are also really, really funny a lot of the time.
