A Discworld novel featuring Death´s granddaughter Susan, the Monks of History, the Auditors and Ronnie, the fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse.
All I can say is that Pratchett keeps getting better and better ^_^

I had a couple of good laughs with this. Death is my favourite character, such a charming guy! ;)

I don't envy those people who have to translate this kind of books to Finnish (or any other language). A great part of humour is based on the English language, so some things are just impossible to translate. I'm glad that I read this in English; I think the translated version wouldn't have been half as funny as the original.

This book will now travel to England for Mojorisin2 to read.

April 8, 2003: Sent to Mojorisin2.

Having read the first discworld novel and not been too impressed, I was glad to find that the characters in Thief Of Time grabbed me from the start and never let go. I enjoyed the humour of the four horsemen and the constant 'Is it not writtens' by Lu-Tze are hilarious. I only wish I could take up the way of Mrs Cosmopolite!

Received today with a very generous parcel from Mojorisin2 - thank you so much. The more books I read in the Discworld series, the more I love them - looking forward to reading this one.

I was keeping this one so that I could read them in order, but in the end I decided it didn't really matter. I always enjoy Terry Pratchett's novels, they are such a great mix of comedy, science, history and myth, I just love the little in-jokes and the punny names. This one was quite a bit more thought provoking than some and I enjoyed the Nanny Ogg cameo - my favourite witch!

I offered this on the bookrelay and it was accepted by wss4. Will be on its way to her tomorrow.

Book arrived today. Thank you so much. I am working on collecting some of the Discworld books so that I can read them in order. I can't wait to start! Thanks for the postcard also!!
