rilina 's review for:

Reaper Man by Terry Pratchett

4.0

---

A really strong Discworld novel--it finds an effective balance between humor and ideas. Though I will say that Death's storyline really carries most of the weight here: it's funnier, more emotionally engaging, and adds the best details to the series going forward.

Spoiler

(After all, this is the book that introduces the Death of Rats!)

As for the rest, I didn't mind Windle Poon's plot, as the jokes about his undead experience kept me fairly amused, but I was a little bored by the antics of the other Unseen University characters.
