I had the deeply bizarre but lovely experience of reading this book for the first time, while the whole time it felt like rereading an old and well-loved favourite.

Also, the book itself didn't make me cry, but the introduction did.

Mort feels like the point in Discworld where Pratchett really started to figure out what he wanted the series to be. The humor feels more subtle and the serious bits deeper. Do brace yourself for period-typical sexism, ableism, and fatphobia, and xenophobia (the period being the 1980s); but otherwise sit back and enjoy a pretty darned good read.
