I'd say "Night Watch" is the best of the recent Discworld books, and one of the best Discworld books overall.
I'd definitely agree with that second statement. I'm not sure it would make a good introduction, because you really need to know the modern incarnations of characters before you meet their younger selves, but it's right up there.
I'll say more once you're finished the book; talk to me in 20 minutes.
I'm halfway through (I had to take time out for housecleaning: I'm in Lexington and we're having relatives over) and I already have suspicions about the ways in which this plot could get pretty ridiculous: I imagine they'll be confirmed?
