Mort

Rating:
Summary: This explains the abnormalities that are DEATH
Review: This is by far the best Terry Prachett book out there and a definite must for any fans of the Discworld series. This also shows that there is a lighter, misunderstood, and extremly comical side of Death that we rarely get to see.

Summary: THERE IS NO JUSTICE. THERE'S ONLY ME...
Review: Have you ever thought about Death looking for a job and talking to a state clark ? She has been really around for a lot, but has she got some references ?

Summary: Only the sequeal is funnier
Review: The only other discworld book that is funnier than this one is the sequeal Soul Music. If you buy this one the next one you should buy or just read is Soul Music

Summary: Death comes to us all.When he came to Mort he offered a job.
Review: One of Pratchett's finest, which is kind of redundant since they're ALL wonderful!! In this precursor to "Reaper Man", we learn about Albert's past and find Death considering the first evening off he's had in several hundred years. From there things only get better. This one starts right off with Pratchett's customary lunacy and wit and never lets up until the finish. My only complaint is how hard his books are to find...

Summary: Even Death needs a day off!
Review: Mort is one of Pratchett's more interesting characters and joins some of the familiar faces on the Discworld. This book had a wonderful ending, leaving me with a happy sense that Mort had managed to save the Disc and Death had learned a little about humans. Pratchett's work is always funny, witty and surprising. This one even changes reality! Definitely recommended by me!

Summary: Teryy Pratchett has done it again!
Review: Mort is another magnificent addition to the Discworld series. With all the fun and excitment of the other novels, Mort stills shines through. Mort is a goofy country boy who's looking for a job. So he decides to go to a local job fair. As the last in line, Mort finds a tall, dark, mysterious figure, waiting fo him. The man offers him a job he simply can't refuse. As Death's new apprentice, Mort learns all the tricks of the trade. Like how to walk through walls, how to pull things from a 'cloak of eternity', and how to sever the very thread that binds people to the realm of the living. And he does all this, in Death's neat clothing. However, Mort finds out that taking Death's work into his own hands doesn't please him very much. Indeed, ticking off the Master is not good at all.

Summary: MORT...MORT...SHINE MY SHOES MORT....
Review: funny. funny. funny. This was my first Pratchett book toread. This book opened up a brand new world to me. I love thisbook. The plot is great. It is one of his best. Death is a great character. If you haven't read any of Pratchett and want to know about his books, read this. It has tons of characters from Ysabell, Albert, Death, Rincewind, Death.... et cetera. This book is great.

Summary: A study in death, or death becommes himself.
Review: Mort.
A Discworld novell by Terry Pratchett.
This is a story about Death, not the state of beeing when
your life has ended, the person death.
Or, as he would pur it himself, The morphogenic
personification Death. Death has allways been facinated by
the humans. He has , quit natyrally,
a job where he meets a lot of them.
But he has never been able to fully understand them.
and when he is easy influated by them,
he decided to take on a apprentice
(noone knew whye when he is imortal,
but as said earlier, he is easy influated)
and the young man Mortimer , often called
Mort (wich shows that faith has humor)
was, after death convincing him that death was
compulsory,hired.
This is the story about death, and for a moment, a death
called Mort.

Summary: Second-funniest Death book to date
Review: This is the story of Death and his young sidekick, Mort. There are lots of nice details about life in Ankh-Morpork as well as various hinterlands. The coming-of-age aspect is nicely done, with Mort proceeding from an inept farmhand to become Death's apprentice and eventually his rival. Like Pratchett's best Discworld novels, there is a light touch of serious philosophical inquiry here about the nature of reality and just what would happen if you really could change history. When Death walks off the job, to wander Ankh-Morpork drinking top-shelf liquor and working as a short-order cook, the results are hilarious. The story is somewhat comparable to Piers Anthony's _On a Pale Horse_, but Anthony suffers by comparison for his lack of real world-building and his insufferable seriousness. The side characters here are great, and include Death's daughter, and his servant Albert, who turns out to be of more importance than he seems. As is unfortunately typical in Discworld books, the ending is a mad scramble to tie up loose ends, but this is still one of the better Discworld novels.

Summary: sheep shag compared to color of magic
Review: Im kinda getting turned off by this

I think he's stuck on using the dungeon dimensions as end for everything

color of magic had far higher number of cool ideas
