These are still a lot of fun. The Death books have always been some of my favorites and this is a good introduction. I'd forgotten about Albert's backstory! I really enjoyed how this got to the end since I knew where Mort ended up. I did get a bit tired of this in the middle (which you can tell since it took two weeks to finish), but in the end it was fun and I'm glad to be rereading these - I think I just need a break now...
A fun read that introduces Death. Lovely read when he's around, drags when he's not.
Same as my opinion of Equal Rites, just a little more close to an interesting story. Death takes on an human apprentice, Mort. The story revolves around Mort trying to understand the great mystery of what lies beyond the veil of death. The thing is, Death himself does not know or care about any of that.
Mort also, understandably, does not want to “kill” people, so he is struggling with his new job.

Me encantó. Es el primer libro de Terry Pratchett que leo y me ha dejado fascinada. Es bastante ligero y el sentido del humor es buenísimo. Me ha animado a continuar con la serie.
