Summary

"Although the scythe isn't pre-eminent among the weapons of war, anyone who has been on the wrong end of, say, a peasants' revolt will know that in skilled hands it is fearsome."

For Mort however, it is about to become one of the tools of his trade. Henceforth, Death is no longer going to be the end, merely the means to an end. He has received an offer he can't refuse. As Death's apprentice, he'll have free board and use of the company horse. And being dead isn't compulsory. It's a dream job - until he discovers that it can be a love-life killer.

Amazing Narration

Love the story and beautiful brought to life by the Narrator, Tony Robinson, with the correct pronunciation fantastical words from Terry Pratchett’s mind. Highly recommend.

Not my favorite Pratchett but very good.

I have read and heard so many of the discworld books, and enjoyed them all, many are pure brilliance! Though personally I feel it is a shame that Tony Robinson took a while to get into his stride with narrating various Pratchett's. I feel this is one of his better ones, though I still prefer other narrators that do Pratchett.

Brought to life by Tony

Tony Robinson really brought this book to life. Loved it! A real page-turner (had I got pages to turn)

Brilliant as ever

Really enjoyed this title in spite of it being abridged. Tony Robinson is the voice of the Discworld for me.

Mort

This is one of my favourite Terry Pratchett books. Tony Robinson’s narration is brilliant, recording not the best quality. Death getting drunk? Who’d have thought it.

Very enjoyable

My husband is a big fan of the Discworld series and recommended I start with the books that feature Death. The story is simple to follow and some of the quotes are legendary. Definitely worth a listen 👍
