by Terry Pratchett
Grade: Good
I didn't like it as much as the other Death books, partly because there wasn't much Death in it. A lot more Susan (whom I do like as well) and lot of the History Monks. But there were some smashingly good parts, especially concerning the Auditors. I loved Lady LeJean.
There also seemed to be a paraphrase of Chesterton, when the Auditors think how strange it is to stuff things down holes in one's face. Recently I also came across an interview of Pratchett where is quote Chesterton's, "The opposite of funny is not serious, the opposite of funny is not funny." Seems to definitly establish him as a Chestertonian.
