Mort: (Discworld Novel 4)

First novel of Terry Pratchett in the Discworld series to focus on the character of Death, a civil servant on the Discworld. The title is the name of its main character: in French, mort means "death".Mort is a teenager who's personality and temperament makes him unsuited to the family farming business. So his father takes him to a local hiring fair in the hope that Mort will land an apprenticeship and possibly a good profession. Just before the last stroke of midnight, Death arrives and takes Mort on as an apprentice. And as the story goes, the rest is history. Great book!

I truly enjoyed this book, it's now one of my favorites from Pratchett. Many big laughs, quirky environments, and not too confusing metaphysical stuff going on. I especially love reading EVERYTHING that Death says haha, that character is amazing. I'm reading the second book in the Death series, Reaper Man, now and the character is just as good there.

Una lettura piacevolissima come tutte quelle di questo autore che trovo divertentissimo ma al tempo stesso pieno di spunti di riflessione.

Todos los libros de Terry Pratchet que he leído me han hecho feliz. ¿Qué más se puede pedir?

This original racy novel will help you see death more constructively. It is such a fun and imaginative treatment of the scythe yielding figure of death as a character. How freeing to let fear of death loosen its grip, even just a bit.
