'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'
