Review quote
'The best Discworld book in the whole world ever. Until next time' * SFX * 'He is a satirist of enormous talent... His jokes slide under your skin as swiftly as a hypodermic syringe, leaving you giggling helplessly' * The Times * Terry Pratchett is one of the great inventors of secondary - or imaginative or alternative - worlds. He has the real energy of the primary storyteller -- A.S. Byatt * The Times * He would be amusing in any form, and his spectacular inventiveness makes the Discworld series one of the perennial joys of modern fiction * Mail on Sunday * He will remain an enduring, endearing presence in comic literature * Guardian *
