Pratchett can make you giggle helplessly and then grin grimly at the sharpness of his wit. * A.S. Byatt * 'Thud! has a serious theme: racial intolerance. That Pratchett can explore this while still making us laugh is a tribute to the integrity of his created world ... Extremely funnym but it's also very near the knuckleduster.' * Scotland on Sunday *
