"Mort" has been a long time coming -- at least 6 months since I started reading TP I would think. I was frustrated because the office's Library Delivery Service (LDS) has refused to deliver the book to me since last year; each time I selected the book, somehow there was some administrative rule blocking me.
Sometime in end Feb this year, to my unalloyed delight, LDS finally came around to the idea that I was determined to have the book and granted my wish. (Whoever were the administrative powers that be that facilitated this, and if you are reading this, thanks!!)
I had a good time reacquainting myself with the fantasy world of Discworld in this book, and had a grand time laughing at the antics of Mort the bumbling hero, and also Death, who is not quite the stuffy eternal old man I always imagined him to be when reading other Discworld books.
TP's humour is spot on as always, and I find in finishing his book how I always like how he takes manages to give familiar themes his unique stamp of humour and insight.
Nothing earthshaking, but always good for a read, is TP. Geek rating: 3 out of 5
