Editorial Reviews

"'Funny, wise and mock heroic...The funniest and best crafted book I have read all year'
" - Sunday Express

"'Like Jonathan Swift, Pratchett uses his other world to hold up a distorting mirror to our own, and like Swift he is a satirist of enormous talent ... incredibly funny ... compulsively readable'
" - The Times

"'His spectacular inventiveness makes the Discworld series one of the perennial joys of modern fiction'
" - Mail on Sunday

"'The great Terry Pratchett, whose wit is metaphysical, who creates an energetic and lively secondary world, who has a multifarious genius for strong parody ... who deals with death with startling originality. Who writes amazing sentences'
" - A.S. Byatt, New York Times

"'Persistently amusing, good-hearted and shrewd'" - Sunday Times

"'This has everything to recommend it...one of his most inventive'" - Daily Telegraph

"'Pratchett's most intriguing yet'" - The Times
