Critics Review

“Surely the best novel Terry Pratchett has ever written, and the best comedy” -John Clute, Interzone

‘Deftly weaves themes of forgiveness, belief and spiritual regeneration….While other writers gnaw at violence, sexuality and rootless despair’—The Times

‘An intriguing satire on institutionalized religion corrupted by power, crackling with one-liners while obliquely suggesting that maybe gods are only as powerful as the beliefs of their followers’—Independent

‘Spectacular inventiveness make the Discworld series one of the perennial joys of modern fiction’—Mail on Sunday

His novels have been widely adapted for stage and screen, and he was the winner of multiple prizes, including the Carnegie Medal. He was awarded a knighthood for services to literature in 2009, although he always wryly maintained that his greatest service to literature was to avoid writing any.
