Death is missing. The dead aren't going anywhere, and the place is overrun with ghosts and poltergeists, including a newly dead wizard, Mr Windle Poons. But that's okay, there's a club for that. They take it upon themselves to try to bring death back!

Meanwhile, a stranger named Bill Door, is turning out to be pretty good with a scythe...


Pratchett is amusing. I'll never stop saying it because it's always true. In Reaper Man I find it amusing how he takes ordinary things from our world, and incorporates them into the Discworld, but makes them different. In Reaper Man I'm pretty sure there's a fight with a shopping centre... Mainly with shopping trolleys and escalators. It's all good fun!


For anybody wanting to read Discworld, or those struggling to get in to the stories, I would say stick with it! There's such a wide variety of characters that you're never bored. Or maybe you only want to follow a select few? That's fine too! One of the great things about the Discworld novels is that they don't need to be read in order for you to be able to follow and enjoy. The first one I read was Soul Music and that's number 16!
