About this title

Review:

"Wraith-like jokes pushing at the margins of taste... inspired imagination" The Independent "A hilarious and subtly thought-provoking story" The 100 Best Books "A marvellous story... You think this is a good book? Right. It is funny, poignant, angry, outrageous and moving. Were it a movie, you'd leave the cinema wondering whether you were crying with laughter or because of the passion and compassion of the story. ... [this book is] the best he has ever written, one that would shift him - were there any justice - from the ranks of "mere" bestsellerdom into the realm of "literature"... it also makes you look again at the way we live" Vector Magazine "Terry Pratchett uses his wicked sense of humour to hilarious effect in his new fantasy story...anyone over ten can find something to smile about here" Daily Mail
