 ... words about it all..... This is a book set on the mythical Discworld, of which there are now at least 37 titles belonging to this series! Some link together, others can be read as stand alone books. The Discworld itself is a flat world balanced on the backs of four elephants that are in turn standing on the back of a giant turtle floating through space. Mort is someone who is always overlooked. You know the sort of boy - When picking out the sports team at school he's the one left and has to be picked reluctantly by ...more

Mort - Terry Pratchett. ~ About the Author ~ Terry Pratchett is one of the best known of Fantasy writers out there. He began writing in 1983, and when I first began reading his books (I read his second novel The Light Fantastic just after publication) no-one really knew who he was! It couldn't be more different today, and this has lead to one bizarre claim to fame - In the UK, he holds the record for the greatest number of books that are shoplifted! Pterry (as many of his fans will refer to him, harking back to a particular novel) does more than just write about a fantasy world. He includes puns, cultural and historical references and ...

As I write this there is a documentary currently showing on BBC1 called A Life of Grime which follows some real-life characters in their day to day jobs. The common thread is that while all their jobs are essential, not many of us would want to do them. Well, does catching rats, collecting rubbish or unblocking sewers appeal to you? These are the jobs that we don't like to think about and instead just assume someone else will do. We put our rubbish out in the morning and by the time we get home from work it's gone, as if by magic. And talking of magic (nice link huh?) the Discworld also has a number of essential jobs and none more so than that performed by ...

Mort stands silently next to his father, the last remaining boy at the hiring fair. Approaching midnight it appears that no one is willing to take him on as an apprentice. His father told him all that thinking and reading of books put people off and perhaps he was right. Suddenly, a horse appears with a hooded figure aboard. Perhaps things will turn out all right after all… "Mort" is Terry Pratchett's fourth Discworld novel. Sat on a flat, disc shaped planet that floats through space on the back of a giant turtle it is a land were witches, wizards and dwarves mix while Gods look on. In such a world if someone says, "You look like ...

Quick pace, frenetic, ridiculous plotlines. Shallow characters, riddled with plot holes.

Wonderful characters and setting Couple of chapters rushed

Everything Nothing

Fast paced, well written, plenty of humour I can't think of any

Follow on to Shadow of the Dark Queen Can seem a little poor, when first read, compared to earlier Feist novels.

The true finale to the Serpentwar Saga There's nothing else to write about Midkemia without upsetting the fans
