"IT GETS UNDER YOUR SKIN, LIFE," said Death, "SPEAKING METAPHORICALLY, OF COURSE. IT'S A HABIT THAT'S HARD TO GIVE UP. ONE PUFF OF BREATH IS NEVER ENOUGH. YOU'LL FIND YOU WANT TO TAKE ANOTHER."
'Hogfather' by the Legendary Sir Pratchett is a rather fantastic addition to the already brilliant Discworld Series. The 20th book in the series and Terry continues to make me laugh out loud and gawp in wonder at his world.
Death has always been a brilliant character throughout this series, but I think he really comes into his own in this book. It actually made me feel quite sorry for him at times with how lonely he is and his obsession with life. His granddaughter, Susan, also becomes another of Pratchett's great leading ladies.
The overall story is as fantastical as ever, with the anthropomorphic personification of death, wizards, magic, the Tooth Fairy, the Discworls version of Santa and even the Verruca Gnome... but there are also some serious points about life and humanity in this that really make you stop and think.
It's these elements of Pratchett's books that make me love them so much... He discusses humanity and real life issues by creating this perfect little fantasy world full of witty humour, puns (or should that be punes) and incredible characters.
Overall, (as is often the case with Discworld books), I give this a total of 💀💀💀💀💀/5.
"AND YOU SEE, THE MORE YOU STRUGGLE FOR EVERY MOMENT, THE MORE ALIVE YOUR STAY..."
