Mort

Mort

A book review by Dan S,

            Mort is another book from the Discworld series of which there is many, and is also a very good book. If you want a good stopping point, too bad, because there isn’t one! It’s one of those books that you just can’t put down. If I had to give it a rating, I’d give it five stars. No books other than this series can capture the hilarity of a world, like no other. FLAT. The Discworld series is an amazing series, so though this is only one of the books, it still is a great demonstration of great book writing.

            Mort is a young boy of about sixteen that really thinks about the things at hand from all angles, and then thrice more. And yet he isn’t serious about anything, nothing at all. So his father goes off with him and to the hiring fair, and at the last ‘second’, is hired by Death. Somehow his first job goes wrong, but some other stuff happens, moving the plot along. I won’t reveal any more, though.

So all in all, Mort is an amazing book of the Discworld series, written by Terry Pratchett. If you like more adult themed books, you’ll probably like this book. Just make sure you have plenty of time to read the book, because you might not be able to put it down. A five out of five star rating for the book, as is the other book, Rincewind the Wizzard. I would recommend holding off to read this until you have read Rincewind the Wizzard, the prequel to this book.
