Mort - the best book about death?
Great book - Mort and Death's story is laugh out loud funny. Terry Pratchett is a genius
Mort!!!! Your Apprentice!
I did a play based on this book when I was at college. I had no idea what the story was all about so I brought the novel to get a little idea about the story and I wet meyself silly reading it! Sharp wit and great one liners. The characters are brilliant (I played Rincewind!) and because we perfomed in the round, it made it even more intimate for the audience to see more of the play and it worked. Great book. The Discworld series is fab! Buy it!
I didn't like it.....................
To be honest I was expecting a lot more from this book. I found it very "thin". I like the Witches better
