Critics Review
‘Funny, wise and mock heroic…The funniest and best crafted book I have read all year’
‘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’
* 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 *
Terry Pratchett
Terry Pratchett was the acclaimed creator of the global bestselling Discworld series, the first of which, The Colour of Magic, was published in 1983. In all, he was the author of over fifty bestselling books which have sold over 100 million copies worldwide. His novels have been widely adapted for stage and screen, and he was the winner of multiple prizes, including the Carnegie Medal. He was awarded a knighthood for services to literature in 2009, although he always wryly maintained that his greatest service to literature was to avoid writing any.
