3.5.
There’s not enough Christmas stories out there that aren’t hallmark romances. I picked this up purely because it’s a Christmas story and I wanted to try a discworld book. I loved the fact this is a standalone book and the main character is death. Death is a great character and I see why people love him. The world building, plot, everything is fantastic but it has 2 of my biggest pet peeves in book. One being footnotes. I hate footnotes with a passion after reading “house of leaves” and the other being no chapters. This was just 400 pages with no chapters, parts nothing. It means you don’t know where to stop. I didn’t realize how much of a pet peeve this was until I read 4 in a row with this issue.

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.
