Review of 'Reaper Man' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Death is interested in humans, same as a reaper is interested in his crop, but the Universe auditors think Death is a little too interested and should be demoted. Death is then given his own lifetimer and since time is ticking for the first time ever, he wants to make every minute count. In this way, the Discworld is momentarily left without the Grim Reaper and the dead have no other option but to continue living...

This may be my favourite Discworld book yet, although I am sure that each one I read will be my favourite from now on (at least for any book that has Death in it). The whole premiss of the book is fantastic and Death always teaches the best lessons in living. This book is food for your brain and hilarious at every turn, cockerel Cyril's story is particularly brilliant in its nonsense.
