What can I say? I liked it enough to have already started putting dent in the second book, the next book of the series that should tell you everything. I only needed a quick palate cleanser in between books which is usually something of a comic relief Terry Pratchett disc world book.

It was ok

It was ok. It was one of those books that gets exciting near the end but even though they tried to get you excited all the way it just took that long to feel any excitement for the characters. Plus there was some nonsensical content. You could tell the author was a Star Trek fan and that’s fine so am I but he chose to follow in the footsteps of Roddenberry on one item that just stretches one’s ability to suspend one’s disbelief. The use of Photon based weapons. Pure silliness. Then the author is trying to keep the narrative on a one week long timeframe. It’s not believable given the characteristics of the characters involved to go through such large personality swings in such a short time. I felt the believability was sacrificed in order to make the narrative faster. I read another review where the reviewer tried to say that this author was on par with Ian M Bank and another author I’ve read the complete works of. Maybe Sanderson? Not even close on both counts

So very philosophical

I just chuckled to myself as my idea for a review is quite fitting. My first thoughts upon finishing the book was to say simply that this book was more philosophic than any of the Terry Pratchett books I’ve read thus far. A very fitting thought for this particular book.

I’ll read the next book, if grudgingly

A “sort of”spoiler alert, no specifics but some people might not like exposing the way the story goes.

Quite a long book to just end up with a lack of an ending. I did enjoy it to a point, having the whole thing end with a massive cliffhanger is a bit annoying though .

I’ve enjoyed a lot of this author’s books but I am starting to get tired of the detective story narrative that makes up about half of this one。

I did give this one four stars though, and I will read the next book of the series because I need the closure

Give me an Alligator Sandwich and make it snappy! I just can’t get tired of Terry Pratchett’s writing style or sense of humour. Even when having just read Reaper Man and this one, Witches Abroad back to back It’s just too me.

I had been hoping there would be a book about the character of death. Sounds a little morbid, I guess but regardless, I think this was the best Terry Pratchett book ever.
Like most of them..,what am I saying? Like all of them! I was constantly having a little giggle about this or that. Reading Terry Pratchett is always a fun ride. Unlike most though, this one was veritably touching, even poignant. I expect to be entertained by his books, I do not expect to be moved by one.

This was one great read, er, listen. Mr. Pratchett’s attention to detail in his writing was surely carried over when he picked out this awesome team of Narrators for his audiobooks. Fantastic stuff.

I don’t see the point in reviewing or at least me writing a review about Terry Pratchett books as they are all so much fun to read or especially as an audiobook thoroughly enjoyable because the voices are always done so well by narrators. This one was particularly wacky with so many plot twists that you couldn’t keep track of things sometimes. Lots of fun.

Fantastic. It’s refreshing when you find a new author, new to me anyway, and you truly enjoy your new discovery’s first work (that you have read.) Then comes the sweet anticipation of reading the follow on stories. I look forward to reading more

Three wishes as only Terry Pratchett would imagine. Anyone who’s read this authors works shouldn’t need further description
