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
