Praise for TERRY PRATCHETT’s
DISCWORLD
“Smart and funny.”
Denver Post
“Pratchett has created an alternate universe full of trolls, dwarfs, wizards, and other fantasy elements, and he uses that universe to reflect on our own culture with entertaining and gloriously funny results. It’s an accomplishment nothing short of magical.”
Chicago Tribune
“Pratchett’s writing is hilarious.”
Cleveland Plain Dealer
“Humorously entertaining (and subtly thought-provoking) fantasy…Pratchett’s Discworld books are filled with humor and with magic, but they’re rooted in, of all things, real life and cold, hard reason.”
Contra Costa Times
“Discworld is more complicated and satisfactory than Oz…. It has the energy of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and the inventiveness of Alice in Wonderland. It also has an intelligent wit and a truly original grim and comic grasp of the nature of things.”
A.S. Byatt
“In [Pratchett’s] range of invented characters, his adroit storytelling, and his clear-eyed acceptance of humankind’s foibles, he reminds me of no one in English literature as much as Geoffrey Chaucer. No kidding.”
Washington Post Book World
“What makes Terry Pratchett’s fantasies so entertaining is that their humor depends on the characters first, on the plot second, rather than the other way around. The story isn’t there simply to lead from one slapstick pratfall to another pun. Its humor is genuine and unforced.”
Ottawa Citizen
“Consistently, inventively mad…wild and wonderful.”
Isaac Asimov’s Science Fiction Magazine
“Pratchett’s storytelling [is] a clever blend of Monty Pythonesque humor and Big Questions about morality and the workings of the universe.”
Publishers Weekly
“Think J.R.R. Tolkien with a sharper, more satiric edge.”
Houston Chronicle
“The Discworld novels are a phenomenon.”
Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel
“Pratchett, for those not yet lucky enough to have discovered him, is one of England’s most highly regarded satirists. Nothing—not religion, not politics, not anything—is safe from him.”
South Bend Tribune
“He is head and shoulders above the best of the rest. He is screamingly funny. He is wise. He has style.”
Daily Telegraph (London)
“Pratchett’s humor is international, satirical, devious, knowing, irreverent, unsparing, and, above all, funny.”
Kirkus Reviews
“Pratchett demonstrates just how great the distance is between one-or two-joke writers and the comic masters whose work will be read into the next century.”
Locus
“If Terry Pratchett is not yet an institution, he should be.”
