Reviews

"Pratchett is as funny as Wodehouse and as witty as Waugh"
*Independent*

"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*

"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*

"Cracking dialogue, compelling illogic and unchained whimsy...Pratchett has a subject and a style that is very much his own"
*Sunday Times*

"Entertaining and gloriously funny"
*Chicago Tribune*
