Terry Pratchett: A Life With Footnotes: The Official Biography by Rob Wilkins

emotional funny reflective sad medium-paced

4.0

I think this will be the perfect read for hardcore Terry Pratchett fans, however even as someone who's less than halfway through the Discworld novels I found it fascinating. I thought it gave a brilliant insight into his life and mind and seeing behind the scenes was so interesting. I wondered if some of it would go over my head but luckily I know enough about the books I haven't yet read to understand the references. Also I think what I've learnt about his writing process will help me appreciate the rest of the books even more. There are very sad moments as you'd expect, but it's also funny and heart-warming throughout. At times it felt like Rob's story as well as Terry's, as they worked together for so long and he was the perfect person to write this book.
