Outstanding Acclaim for TERRY PRATCHETT
“Very, very funny.”
The Times (London)
“Pratchett’s Monty Python-like plots are almost impossible to describe. His talent for characterization and dialogue and his pop-culture allusions steal the show.”
Chicago Tribune
“Trying to summarize the plot of a Pratchett novel is like describing Hamlet as a play about a troubled guy with an Oedipus complex and a murderous uncle.”
Barbara Mertz
“Pratchett has now moved beyond the limits of humorous fantasy, and should be recognized as one of the more significant contemporary English language satirists.”
Publishers Weekly
“Consistently, inventively mad…wild and wonderful!”
Isaac Asimov’s Science Fiction Magazine
“Think J.R.R. Tolkien with a sharper, more satiric edge.”
Houston Chronicle
“Discworld takes the classic fantasy universe through its logical, and comic, evolution.”
Cleveland Plain Dealer
“Truly original…. Discworld is more complicated and satisfactory than Oz…. Has the energy of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and the inventiveness of Alice in Wonderland…. Brilliant!”
A. S. Bryant
“Offers more entertainment per page than anything this side of Wodehouse.”
Washington Post Book World
“Simply the best humorous writer of the twentieth century.”
Oxford Times
“A brilliant storyteller with a sense of humor…. The Dickens of the twentieth century.”
Mail on Sunday (London)
“As always he is head and shoulders above the best of the rest. He is screamingly funny. He is wise. He has style.”
Daily Telegraph (London)
“Pratchett is a comic genius.”
Express (London)
“Terry Pratchett does for fantasy what Douglas Adams did for science fiction.”
Today (Great Britain)
“What makes Terry Pratchett’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.”
