UNANIMOUS PRAISE FOR TERRY PRATCHETT
“If Terry Pratchett is not yet an institution, he should be.”
Fantasy and Science Fiction
“Consistently, inventively mad…wild and wonderful!”
Isaac Asimov’s Science Fiction Magazine
“Think J.R.R. Tolkien with a sharper, more satiric edge.”
Houston Chronicle
“His books are richly textured, and far more complex than they appear at first.”
Barbara Mertz
“Offers more entertainment per page than anything this side of Wodehouse.”
Washington Post Book World
“Truly original…Discworld is more complicated and satisfactory than Oz…. Has the energy of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and the inventiveness of Alice in Wonderland.…Brilliant!”
A. S. Byatt
“Humorously entertaining…subtly thought-provoking…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.”
Chicago Tribune
“For lighthearted escape with a thoughtful center, you can’t do better than…any…Discworld novel.”
Washington Post Book World
“Simply the best humorous writer of the twentieth century.”
Oxford Times
“A brilliant storyteller with a sense of humor…whose infectious fun completely engulfs you…. The Dickens of the twentieth century.”
Mail on Sunday (London)
“Pratchett is a comic genius.”
Express (London)
“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
“As always he is head and shoulders above the best of the rest. He is screamingly funny. He is wise. He has style.”
Daily Telegraph (London)
“Terry Pratchett does for fantasy what Douglas Adams did for science fiction.”
Today (Great Britain)
“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
“Terry Pratchett is more than a magician. He is the kindest, most fascinating teacher you ever had.”
Harlan Ellison
“Delightful…. Logically illogical as only Terry Pratchett can write.”
Anne McCaffrey
