...[SNUFF is a] lively outing, complete with sly shout-outs to Jane Austen and gritty police procedurals., Series followers will delight in this latest entry.... Pratchett's fun, irreverent-seeming story line masks a larger discussion of social inequalities and the courage it takes to stand up for the voiceless., …[SNUFF is a] lively outing, complete with sly shout-outs to Jane Austen and gritty police procedurals., Like Pratchett, [narrator Stephen Briggs] loves the comic rhythm, sound, and very taste of words-just for their own sake. So order up a tuna-spaghetti-jam sandwich (with sprinkles) and be prepared for a wonderful time., The humor is sharp and the characters are charming, and the plight of the goblins creates moments of genuine pathos that are the highlight of the book., Series followers will delight in this latest entry … Pratchett's fun, irreverent-seeming story line masks a larger discussion of social inequalities and the courage it takes to stand up for the voiceless., "Bounding between a wealth of settings and scenarios, Pratchett has forged a wicked roster of heroines and heroes, including several members of 'the occult community' and Sam Vimes, a policeman who has risen from the slums of Ankh-Morpork to a dukedom without ditching his street smarts. . . . His first Discworld book may have been a frolic, but his magic has long since been set in strong moral mortar." -- Washington Post "In short, this is as busy and as daft as any other Discworld yarn, which means it is the quintessence of daft.

A treat no fan of Discworld--and there are boatloads of them--will want to miss." -- Kirkus Reviews "Series followers will delight in this latest entry as it offers them a chance to catch up with Pratchett's recurring protagonist while enjoying a tight, fast-paced take on the traditional police procedural novel.

Synopsis
"Pratchett . . . has a satirist's instinct for the absurd and a cartoonist's eye for the telling detail." -Daily Telegraph (London) "The purely funniest English writer since Wodehouse." -Washington Post Book World Sam Vimes, watch commander of Ankh-Morpork, is at long last taking a much-needed (and well deserved) vacation. But, of course, this is Discworld®, where nothing goes as planned-and before Vimes can even change his cardboard-soled boots for vacationer's slippers, the gruff watch commander soon finds himself enmeshed in a fresh fiasco fraught with magic, cunning, daring, and (for the reader more than for poor Vimes) endless hilarity. Did he really expect time off? As Vimes himself says in Feet of Clay, "there's some magical creature called 'overtime,' only no one's even seen its footprints." Following the New York Times bestselling Unseen Academichals, Terry Pratchett delivers an enthralling new tale from a place of insuperable adventure: Discworld.

    AAAA++++ SELLER!!!! Book was shipped very quickly and item price was also good. My only complaint is the shipping packaging. This book came loosely placed in a plastic bag so I can't tell if the damage to the dust jacket happened in shipping or it was already in that condition. But, as I already stated, the overall price was good so I shouldn't really complain. Overall, I've had positive experience with hpb-ruby so I'd still definitely recommend buying from them.

    Great book for a great price. Shipped quickly, but only packed in a poly bag, so the book suffered some mild corner damage in shipping. Aside from that, the book matched the description of its condition and I’m happy overall. Great seller!
