Death is one of the most entertaining Discworld characters. I always like reading about him, and this book is no exception. I do think, however, that the end is a bit abrupt, with shades of deus ex machina. Mort makes a hell of a mess of his new job, and Death and the Gods sort it out between paragraphs, essentially.

The best bit about this book is that, as I'm rereading it, I can look forward to Susan Sto Helit, who is Discworld Gold as far as I'm concerned. She's not in this outing, of course, but I know that she's coming...
