I love this book. This is my favorite Discworld book so far. I have read them in order. I like Rincewind and I like the Witches. I love that old characters come into the current story he's telling, but he sticks with the point of view book. Rincewind does who up in this story and Granny Weatherwax is mentioned. I love that.
Death is one of my favorite characters ever in fiction. Death is the best. I also really love Mort. This was a fantastic book. I've been busy and couldn't read as much as I wanted as fast as I wanted, but this book kept me engaged.
I simply love the mastery and genius that is Terry Pratchett. He describes some very complex ideas in a way that is lighthearted and fun. It's easy to understand and easy to miss that he just described something very complex. Terry is truly a genius and this series is amazing. I can't believe the layers of complexity over a good satirical story. It would be easy to miss just how complex and amazing this writing is.
Mort is an Apprentice and like all apprentices, they have to mess some things up and it gets the story really rolling. I enjoy the ending very much. Discworld is my cup of tea. I can't wait to read more Death books.

I still haven't finished the..."
Hey James, I want to read some more and get through the series. I'm glad you are still going. They are a lot of fun. What is your favorite book so far?

I still haven't finished the Discworld, I think I still have about ten to go, but Mort was among my first three.
