What the critics say

'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
