Description
'He is screamingly funny. He is wise. He has style' Daily Telegraph
DEATH IS MISSING - PRESUMED... ER... GONE.
Which leads to the kind of chaos you always get when an important public service is withdrawn.
Meanwhile, on a little farm far, far away, a tall, dark stranger is turning out to be really good with a scythe. There's a harvest to be gathered in...
Readers can't put down Reaper Man:
'The second DEATH is as hilarious as the first one, this time positioning the friendly reaper in a perfect setting for having philosophical and deep thoughts about human nature and life in general' Goodreads reviewer,
'This book is full of really profound messages about life and death and making your life count, if only by giving others some of your time . . . due to the impeccable combination of profound messages, silly adventures and laugh-out-loud moments, it is simply perfect' Goodreads reviewer,
'This book does contain DEATH, the librarian, the Wizards and many more and is in my humble opinion (be it h'ever so 'umble) the best so far, a true masterpiece of literature' Goodreads reviewer,
'Behind the story of Death being fired for having developed a personality, there's a clever little parable about what it means to be human, to be alive' Goodreads reviewer,
'Oh my goodness the ending to this book is sensational. I cried. I cried A LOT . . . Brilliantly funny in parts, with a deep look at life and death, cities and people. It asks the big questions, the heavy questions. Yes, there is humour and silliness, too, but it is a very deep, meaningful book' Goodreads reviewer,
'This entry in the series has EVERYTHING - action, adventure, thrills, chills, and romance, in addition to the usual amount of rampant silliness one has come to expect from Pratchett' Goodreads reviewer,
A beautiful gift-edition hardback of the classic Discworld novel.
