Hogfather by Terry Pratchett

8797999's review against another edition

5.0

Unconventional but festive so counts as a Christmas read. Its been a while since I read a book of Terry Pratchett's and this one gave many a belly laugh. I just love the characters so much especially Death and the Death of Rats. Chock full of excellent humour and some great twists and characters.

I will have to check to see if the adaptation is available to watch over the holidays.


Original Review
Superb from start to finish and I have yet to not enjoy a book by Sir Terry, I'm really loving the Death sub-series of Discworld. The great thing about this book is there is a TV adaptation to enjoy as well so I look forward to watching that soon also.

My favorite Discworld books tend to have Death in them, and this one is a banger. The plot itself is a fun balance between absurd and sinister. The end drags a bit, but everything else is well-paced.
