'He is screamingly funny. He is wise. He has style' Daily Telegraph 'His spectacular
inventiveness makes the Discworld series one of the perennial joys of modern fiction' Mail on
Sunday It is known as the Discworld. It is a flat planet supported on the backs of four
elephants who in turn stand on the back of the great turtle A'Tuin as it swims majestically
through space. And it is quite possibly the funniest place in all of creation... Death comes
to us all. When he came to Mort he offered him a job. After being assured that being dead was
not compulsory Mort accepted. However he soon found that romantic longings did not mix easily
with the responsibilities of being Death's apprentice. Terry Pratchett's hilarious fourth
Discworld novel established once and for all that Death really is a laughing matter...
Readers can't get enough of Mort: ' This book was so good that if I knew the way to
Sheepridge I'd be heading there next Hogswatch Eve hoping to be chosen as DEATH's next
apprentice . . . This book is laugh out loud want to read the funny bit to someone (anyone)
funny it is witty very witty cleverly witty it is deceptively simple but wonderfully
complex an enigma a dichotomy. Oh ok it is bloody good and outrageously funny just read it '
Goodreads reviewer ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ' This was the very first Discworld novel I've ever read . . .
It became instantly dear to me prompting me to immediately buy the English original and
reading it once again but I had almost forgotten just HOW GOOD this was . After this re-read
it is clear that it shall remain one of my all-time favourite books ' Goodreads reviewer ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
⭐ ⭐ ' The story itself is simple to follow what makes this book so incredible is the
fantastic descriptions of the way this universe works and the different realities and places
and people . . . I didn't want to leave this world and I will definitely be returning soon! '
Goodreads reviewer ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 'The fourth Discworld novel is right up there with my favourites
. . . it's fun to watch [Death] stretch his legs a little witness Pratchett pushing the
character in interesting and imaginative directions and without a shadow of a doubt the best
conversations involve the grinning skeleton with the sparkle in his eye . . . If you're
wondering where to start with the incredibly large body of work that makes up the Discworld
then this is the one I suggest ' Goodreads reviewer ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
