Exuberant praise for
TERRY PRATCHETT and Discworld:

“A master of laugh-out-loud fiction…Pratchett’s ‘Monty Python’-like plots are almost impossible to describe…. [He] has created an alternate universe full of trolls, dwarfs, wizards, and other fantasy elements, and he uses that universe to reflect on our own culture with entertaining and gloriously funny results. It’s an accomplishment nothing short of magical.”

Chicago Tribune

“Think J.R.R. Tolkein with a sharper, more satiric edge.”

Houston Chronicle

“Brilliant…truly original…Discworld is more complicated and satisfactory than Oz…. [It] has the energy of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and the inventiveness of Alice in Wonderland.”

A.S. Byatt

“Humorously entertaining (and subtly thought-provoking) fantasy…Pratchett’s Discworld books are filled with humor and with magic, but they’re rooted in, of all things, real life and cold, hard reason.”

Contra Costa Times

“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

“Pratchett’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

“Consistently, 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

“What 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

“His Discworld novels are smart and funny.”

Denver Post

“Pratchett, 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

“Pratchett’s humor is international, satirical, devious, knowing, irreverent, unsparing, and, above all, funny.”

Kirkus Reviews

“The Discworld novels are a phenomenon.”
