Death and What Comes Next by Terry Pratchett

midici's review

4.0

A short conversation between the Discworld's Death and a philosopher he has gone to collect. It manages to be both funny and creepy at the same time. Can't say much more without saying everything, except the Discworld's Death is one of the best Death characters, and I enjoy every Prachett book he is in.

I was looking at Terry Pratchett's books and noticed that I *shock* missed a story about Death! And Death is my favourite character and I was already sad that is he is barely found in the newer books. :(

So I was delighted to find this short story. Death comes to pick up a philosopher, but that person has a mind of his own about being dead (or not?), and thus starts a discussion. Death being as he is, has some great arguments to counter it.

I really enjoyed this little story (I wish it was longer!), and I would recommend it to everyone who loves Death, or anyone who just likes the Discworld series. :)

It's very short, but very entertaining. You can't really give too many stars for something that short though, it's a shame because it is funny.
