So many reviewers have already given such great detail in review about this story that I will not follow suit. I admit that I was very enthralled through the book. I found Pratchett's observations, puns and absurdity very fun. I like the story that as I got closer and closer to the ending I found myself slowing down my reading to savor it.
Unfortunately, the ending was a let down for me. The final conflict was rushed, chaotic and not very satisfying. In the end of this story I was left pondering what would be a better way to wrap it all up and could not find anything suitable to do differently. It had all the tell tale signs of a Doctor Who episode where great leaps in logic are needed by the protagonist in order to try and wrap up the story in a semi-plausible way. So, I just have to accept it for what it is: a funny vignette into the world of Death and the people that cross his path of his existance.
There is so much good about this book that I cannot give it a more harsh review. It is definately worth the read. It is fast paced and funny. If you want an amusing quick read then this is the one for you.Get more detail about Mort Big Comic (Discworld).
