"The great Terry Pratchett, whose wit is metaphysical, who creates
an energetic and lively secondary world, who has a multifarious
genius for strong parody as opposed to derivative manipulation of
past motifs, who deals with death with startling originality. Who
writes amazing sentences."
--A.S. Byatt in "The New York Times"
"A passion for language, wordplay and puns bursts from the
pages."
--Daily Telegraph
"A great Pratchett strength is the sense that if the jokes were
dropped there would still be
a good, engaging fantasy thriller here."
--"The Independent
"
"Fantastically inventive and humorous fantasy adventure. Fans will
be sky high."
--"The Sunday Times
"
"Pratchett's ear for dialogue is superb... His deep feeling for
landscape, animals, kindness and courage make his adventures deeply
satisfying as well as clever."
