Mort by Terry Pratchett

5.0

Terry Pratchett never fails to make me laugh. I am no stranger to the Discworld Series; thus far, I have read 14 of these books, and each of them is an absolutely whimsical delight. Mort, however, is a particular favorite of mine. Just the premise of the all-powerful specter of death seeking an apprentice is hysterical, and the fact that it’s Mort, the least desirable prospective apprentice, makes it all the more hilarious. The plot is so well crafted, and Pratchett’s style of writing is one of my absolute favorites of all time. This is the second time I’ve read it, and I think I noticed his wit in constructing his jokes even more this time. So, even if you’ve read it before, do yourself a favor and give it another read.
