A review by lizzie_purplephoenix
Reaper Man by Terry Pratchett

5.0

Read this at the right time, just after the death of my mother, and it was the perfect choice, especially given I've inherited her Discworld collection and the copy I read was hers. It's a reread for me, but it's been many years since I last read it so remembered little. I love Death the character so much, and despite the fact that this plot hares along with its absurd shenanigans caused by the fact that Death is missing, it also offers plenty of quieter, introspective (as well as amusing) observations about life and death, mostly in Death's signature reassuring capital letters! It was a hard book to put down.
