I've been reading Discworld in order off and on for a while, and this is definitely the strongest one so far. It's got a lot of what folks love about Discworld: snappy writing and satirical concepts, fun characters, and tender sentimental moments. And a skeleton wearing overalls, it's all here!

My strongest criticism of this book is that I wish we spent more time in the more meditative and solitary parts of the book with Death, but I get that it's definitely more exciting to focus on the chaotic ensemble action in Ankh-Morpork
