Helpful Score: 2
This was another great novel taking place in Discworld. I haven't read the books in order, and have found that you don't really need to. Things are described in such a clever way, that if you read them out of order, you are easily able to put the events into place on your own.
Death has to be one of my favorite characters. His inability to understand humans is endearing in the ways he goes about trying to understand what makes them tick. Getting drunk was quite funny. His adopted daughter and apprentice make for a very cute part of the "extended family" along with Albert. I especially cracked up over a scene where the young pair was up on a ladder reading Albert's life story... I won't tell you what happened, but it's a riot. (to me anyway--I have a warped sense of humor, I guess)
I highly recommend reading this one. It's always a treat when Death is in the story as much as he is this one.
