What the critics say

'Like Jonathan Swift, Pratchett uses his other world to hold up a distorting mirror to our own, and like Swift he is a satirist of enormous talent ... incredibly funny ... compulsively readable'
- The Times

'Pratchett is at the peak of his power; it's hard to think of any humorist writing in Britain today who can match him'
- Time Out

'The great Terry Pratchett, whose wit is metaphysical, who creates an energetic and lively secondary world, who has a multifarious genius for strong parody ... who deals with death with startling originality. Who writes amazing sentences'
- New York Times

'His spectacular inventiveness makes the Discworld series one of the perennial joys of modern fiction'
- Mail on Sunday
