Journal Entry 1 by krin511 from Olney, Maryland USA on Saturday, August 26, 2006
 Who would want to harm Discworld's most beloved icon? Very few things are held sacred in this twisted, corrupt, heartless -- and oddly familiar -- universe, but the Hogfather is one of them. Yet here it is, Hogswatchnight, that most joyous and acquisitive of times, and the jolly old, red-suited gift-giver has vanished without a trace. And there's something shady going on involving an uncommonly psychotic member of the Assassins' Guild and certain representatives of Ankh-Morpork's rather extensive criminal element. Suddenly Discworld's entire myth system is unraveling at an alarming rate. Drastic measures must be taken, which is why Death himself is taking up the reins of the fat man's vacated sleigh . . . which, in turn, has Death's level-headed granddaughter, Susan, racing to unravel the nasty, humbuggian mess before the holiday season goes straight to hell and takes everyone along with it.

My brother picked this up today from the post office! It's a wishlist book:)
Thank you Pepper for choosing this as part of my ballyswapper month and thank you Krin for mailing it!
One of the best Discworld books and it also included my favorite characters (Susan and Death). Plus it raised some intriguing questions like "where does the tooth fairy take all the teeth?"
Needless to say the footnotes also added to the charm of this book.
I hope I'll find another enthusiastic reader soon.
