A moving and haunting book
—— Daily ExpressPratchett too requires us to think. Whenever I read his stories I find myself thinking that he is "grown up". He may write benign comedy but he knows how horribly complicated and exciting the Universe is.
—— A.S. Byatt, The TimesYou hardly need to review Pratchett nowadays...you know you can rely on him to be wirtty and quietly wise, and his creations have taken on a life of their own...A series that seems to re-invent itself by natural evolution every time.
—— Starburst'Thud! has a serious theme: racial intolerance. That Pratchett can explore this while still making us laugh is a tribute to the integrity of his created world ... Extremely funny but it's also very near the knuckleduster.'
—— Scotland on SundayEntertaining... Fun and farcical
—— Financial TimesPlenty of tongue-in-cheek fun to be had
—— Daily MailAn extraordinary book which can truly be said to break new ground
