"Thought-provoking as well as fun, this is Pratchett at his most
philosophical, with characters and situations sprung from ideas and
games with language. And it celebrates the joy of the moment"
*The Times*
"Nation has profound, subtle and original things to say about the
interplay between tradition and knowledge, faith and questioning .
. . It's funny, exciting, lighthearted and, like all the best
comedy, very serious"
*Guardian*
"Pratchett's immensely entertaining new young adult novel, manages
to be both thought-provoking and sweet . . . At times Nation reads
like Philip Pullman but with less anger and more jokes, and a bit
more ambiguity . . . It's a wonderful story, by turns harrowing and
triumphant"
*The New York Times*
"Terry Pratchett is an indisputable one-off . . . Nothing he writes
is ever predictable - except that it will always be gloriously
readable"
*Independent*
"An ebullient and entertaining novel of ideas"
*Guardian*
