    Publishers Weekly
    “P ratchett’s wildly popular Discworld novels make fun of almost everything in the real world, but keep one foot firmly planted in fantasy.”
    New York Daily News
    “C onsistently, inventively mad…wild and wonderful.”
    Isaac Asimov’s Science Fiction Magazine
    “Pratchett is a comic genius.”
    Express (London)
    “Discworld takes the classic fantasy universe through its logical, and comic, evolution.”
    Cleveland Plain Dealer
    “W hat makes Terry Prachett’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
    “H is Discworld novels are smart and funny.”
    Denver Post
    “P ratchett, 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
    “P ratchett’s humor is international, satirical, devious, knowing, irreverent, unsparing, and, above all, funny.”
    Kirkus Reviews
    “The Discworld novels are a phenomenon.”
    Ft. Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel
