Publisher Description
On the planet of Discworld, phrases like there's a Death in the family take on a whole new meaning. Young Susan has always suspected that her Grandfather was different, as though all the time he spent riding a white horse and wielding a scythe weren't enough of a giveaway. Now that her worst fears have been confirmed, Susan learns that she's expected to take over the family business when she grows up, even though most people mistake her for the Tooth Fairy. But as attractive as Death can be to many people, Susan is drawn into something else: the exciting, addictive heavy beats of Music with Rocks In, Discworld's latest dance craze.

"This is the first book I read by Terry Pratchett. Although I plucked it out from the series at the recommendation of a friend, I enjoyed it thoroughly and didn't feel too lost. It is witty, and is probably most interesting to musician-sorts, since it is about musicians, or want-to-be musicians."

Soul Music: Discworld #16 (Unabridged) Listener Reviews

" One of my favorite Discworld books. The puns and references about the music industry are some of his best in the Discworld series! "
— Chelinda, 2/12/2014 -
" This remains my favorite Discworld novel, although it is not as deep as some of his other works. Still, the Discworld version of Rock'n'Roll is so fun to read about that I don't mind. "

— Jenni, 12/23/2013 -
" One of the best yet. "
— Evan, 11/23/2013 -
" An absolute must for Rock and Roll fans. This book has so many rock references you will have to look them up. Got to love "Music with Rocks In". "
— James, 10/2/2013 -
" I don't even know what to say about this book. I've never read something so witty, funny, creative and right on. This book made me want to start reading again. "

" Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! "
— Paul, 6/20/2013 -
" Susan, Death's granddaughter, has a go at the family business. Some bard discovers a magical guitar which uses him and his band to play the "Primal" music played at the beginning of the universe. Nothing memorable. "
— Derrick, 5/25/2013 -
" Music with rocks in ! "
— amanda, 5/25/2013 -
" I love all the Terry Pratchett 'DEATH' character stories. This is one of my favourites. "
— Anne, 4/25/2013 -
" The Music is all :) is the begin and is the end. One Two, One Two Three... "
— Kharkoma, 9/6/2012 -
" Not one of my favorites by Terry Pratchett. Too corny for my taste. "
— Macie, 11/25/2011 -
" A funny take on a medieval blues brothers theme "
— Rob, 10/17/2011 -
" Another very enjoyable Discworld novel. :) Full of satire and ridiculous situations that somehow perfectly parallel our society. To round it out, Pratchett's stories never fail to invite a little poignant reflection. "
— Krysta, 5/20/2011 -
" It turns out that satire is not my thing. However, I did appreciate the writing style itself. "
— Lauren, 4/27/2011 -
" I am really enjoying Pratchett's work the more I read of it. I love the dry, British sense of humor, and the way he just slips little jokes in for the reader to catch. I also like how the stories are all connected but are able to stand on their own as well. "
— Alia, 1/3/2010 -
" Great book! Rock and Roll invades Discworld as Death joins the foriegn legion and hangs out with the homeless, leaving his granddaughter Susan to perform his duties. I especially liked the ending to this one, which was much more satisfying than the endings to Mort and Reaper Man. "
— Petra, 5/23/2009 -
" Possibly my tenth time reading. It was my first ever discworlld book and I loved it. I still do, obviously. "
— Rosie, 2/18/2009 -
" I always love Pratchett. He is light, a wordsmith and very funny. This one was interesting because it was about music, musicians and bands. I don't think that it was his best writing, but I still loved it. "
— Kris, 2/4/2009 -
" This was a cool book. I definitely liked Mort more as a death story, but the Rock 'n Roll element made it very fun to read. "
— Nathan, 1/31/2009 -
" I had a little more trouble than usual following the switching threads, but still another good pratchetteering! "
— Tomherndon, 12/18/2008 -
" Falls into the category of Disc World novels where he is moving through obvious targets such as the music or film industry lacks the bite or philosophical insight you would hope or expect. "
— Ben, 12/9/2008
