Critics Review
Ethically challenging, beautifully orchestrated, philosophically opposed to the usual plot fixes of fantasy * The Guardian *Simply gripping story-telling * The Times *Powerful, passionate, mordantly funny and, at one point, unbearably sad * Daily Telegraph *An astonishing novel…I marvelled at the ferociousness of the humour, and the willingness to go into dark places * Financial Times *Great yarn written in fairly simple text * Liverpool Echo *Will take you on a fantastic journey… wonderful, funny and gripping. * Kids Alive *Excruciatingly funny, ferociously intelligent. * Kirkus *It never ceases to amaze me the amount of… stuff one can find in a Terry Pratchett book * The Book Smugglers *Amazing Maurice has one of the most satisfying and effective endings in the series! * Reading Bug *Humour, humour and more humour, an utterly unpredictable plot, interesting rats - err, characters - and a profound denoument, this is Discworld at its best. * Speculation *
