CRITICS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE POND ARE STARK RAVING MAD FOR TERRY PRATCHETT!
“Terry Pratchett is Britain’s best-selling living novelist…. What’s remarkable about him is that he is also first-rate, and in a better-ordered world he would be acclaimed as a great writer rather than a merely successful one…. Pratchett has two secret weapons up his sleeve—a terrific sense of humor and a most appealing personality.”
Sunday Telegraph (London)
“Philosophical humor of the highest order.”
Kirkus Reviews
“One of the reasons for Pratchett’s skyrocketing popularity (he has sold more than twenty million copies of his novels worldwide) is his use of multiple layers of satire. You can never pick up all the jokes he makes in one reading. And while you don’t need to have read any previous Discworld novels to appreciate a new one, he frequently weaves in elements from other stories to add dimension to the Discworld universe.”
Denver Post
“Engaging, surreal satire…nothing short of magical.”
Chicago Tribune
“Slyly comic.”
Houston Chronicle
“Unadulterated fun…witty, frequently hilarious.”
San Francisco Tribune
“Superb popular entertainment.”
Washington Post Book World
“Think J. R. R. Tolkien with a sharper, more satiric edge.”
Houston Chronicle
“Trying to summarize the plot of a Pratchett novel is like describing Hamlet as a play about a troubled guy with an Oedipus complex and a murderous uncle. Pratchett isn’t Shakespeare—for one thing, he’s funnier—but his books are richly textured and far more complex than they appear at first…Consider yourself grabbed by the collar, with me shouting, ‘You’ve got to read this book!’”
Barbara Mertz
“Discworld takes the classic funny universe through its logical, and comic, evolution.”
Cleveland Plain Dealer
“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
