Reaper Man: Discworld #11 Audiobook (Unabridged)

" My introduction to the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett. Death is forced into retirement by the Auditors of the Universe and has the time of his, for lack of a better word, life. Meanwhile, chaos reigns over the Discworld because the dead are caught between worlds with nobody to guide them into what comes next. Hilarious, with interesting bits of social commentary mixed in (true for most of the Discworld series.) "

" One of Pratchett's more philosophical novels, this story revolves around the end of death. Strange thing happen across several story lines, all related to Death's departure. Death - or rather, the absence of death - affects each character differently and Pratchett uses each of these situations to explore another aspect of death... and life. The humor is there as an undercurrent to keep away the morbid thoughts. Well done, Terry. "

" The Discworld is thrown into chaos when DEATH is made to go on a leave of absence. Audio read by Nigel Planer. "

" One of my many favorite Discworld books. "

" What does Death do when he gets fired? Read and find out. "

" I love DEATH - it cracks me up! "

" Death and the Wizards both have adventures that make this one of the best of the early Discworld novels (#11). "

" Terry Pratchett at his best. Thoughtful, goofy, funny,and touching. Pratchett has an unequaled gift for setting up an absurd situation and following out its logical tentacles. A gem. "

" Makes references to Catcher in the Rye. Very funny. "

" I loved this one . . . Death is such an intersting character. His journey and eventual triumph is very rewarding. I highly recommend it! "

" A bit confusing, possibly because I jumped into the 11th book without any background. Very funny, excessively British, and pretty weird. I enjoyed it. "

" Death is such a fun character, and the humor was more than great. "

" Marvellous,fantastic,wonderful,one of my favourite discworld novels.....anyone who is tired of Mr Ps versionh of DEATH is tired of life. "

" Have I ever mentioned how Death is my favourite? "

" Discworld's most popular character is back in the lead role. When Death takes a holiday, nobody really dies. This book also takes a swipe at commercialism. Introduces the "Death of Rats" character, which I actually like better than Death. Not one of the better Discworld books, but still a fun read. "

" A little more serious than some of the earlier works. Well written, but a little less fun. "

" Death: a fantastic character :) "

" One of the best Discworld novels I've read yet, mainly because Death is such a great character. Typical Pratchett - very funny but with a melancholic edge. "

" I'd give this 3.5 stars if I could. As with all Discworld novels I've read, the parts that focused on Death were the best. I wasn't as thrilled with the wizards side of the plot, but then, the wizards have never been my favorite Discworld characters. "

" A new take on the whole what if the grim reaper took a few days off story. "

" Bill Door is my hero. Funny funny! "

" One of my favourite Discworld books. The Death parts especially, but I've warmed up to the other parts as well. Death being Bill Door is funny and heartbreaking at the same time. I want to hug him. A wonderful book. "

" Developing the character of Death in Mort and Reaper Man is great. It was great fun in this book seeing Death trying to be a "normal" person. "

" This book contains a surprising heart in addition to the expected humor. Much enjoyed. "

" you got to love Terry Pratchett "

" My favorite Pratchet's book, so far... :) "

" How can you not like Death? HOW, INDEED? I'm sorry, did someone say something? NEVER MIND. I'LL ONLY BE HERE A MOMENT. Oh, okay then. Anyway, as I was...erk... "

" Probably a 3.5 stars, but I'm feeling generous today. I enjoyed the humor and the silliness churned out by Terry Pratchett in this Discworld novel. I also liked the philosophical wonderings of Death that resulted in a kinder, gentler Grim Reaper. "
