I liked this book, but it nearly got me in a slump. At first, I really enjoyed the fact that there were no chapters, the book felt like a long short-story, and I love short stories. Unfortunately, about halfway through, it got too annoying not having clean places to stop reading, so I just reading altogether. Eventually I picked it back up and got it over with.
Onto the book itself, I liked the story, I loved Death and I really enjoyed the humor and the philosophical arguments sprinkled all throughout the book. Unfortunately, its length was a drawback: too long for a single seating, too short to have chapters (apparently)

Seemingly struggling with the Death series which is a shame.

*** Part of my journey to re-read all Discworld novels in order ***
I’ve always been a fan of the Death arc, and Reaper Man was another memorable entry. I loved seeing Death forced into a mortal life as Bill Door, and his discovery of what it means to be human was beautiful, bittersweet, and weirdly comforting. The ending with Miss Flitworth made me tear up.
The second plot with the wizards and the chaos of shopping trolleys and life energy however felt too chaotic and disjointed for me. The Late Windle Poons and the Dead Rights Club had fun moments, but overall I could have done without this storyline.
The audiobook wasn't as enjoyable as the previous ones this time, I didn't quite click with the main narrator (except for Death's voice).

Hilarious. Pratchett’s word choice is stellar. Death goes on vacation as a farm hand. Once he isn’t doing his deathly duties, things don’t move on. We meet new characters, some undead, some human, vampires and werewolves. As the world gets wonky, Death holds on to

This is, as of now, by far my favorite book in the series.
It was a constant joy to read, and I loved every single solitary instant. I almost wish it had never ended, but everything always does, and that’s neat too.
