Mort

Me encantó. Es el primer libro de Terry Pratchett que leo y me ha dejado fascinada. Es bastante ligero y el sentido del humor es buenísimo. Me ha animado a continuar con la serie.

Mort is the fourth of Terry Pratchett???s DISCWORLD novels. It stands alone, meaning that you don???t need to read the previous novels to enjoy Mort. It???s better than the previous novels, too, so it might be a good place for new readers to start.

Mortimer is a na??ve but pensive ??? and therefore slightly odd ??? young man who doesn???t fit in with his farming community. It looks like he???s going to be jobless until Death arrives and chooses him as an apprentice. Why does Death need an apprentice? He has become bored with his immortal life and wants to travel to Ankh-Morpork so he can experience some humanity.

After only a little bit of training, Mort is left in charge. His job is to collect the souls of people who are about to depart the mortal world. When Mort becomes infatuated with a princess who???s about to die, he can???t stop himself from interfering with her...

These are still a lot of fun. The Death books have always been some of my favorites and this is a good introduction. I'd forgotten about Albert's backstory! I really enjoyed how this got to the end since I knew where Mort ended up. I did get a bit tired of this in the middle (which you can tell since it took two weeks to finish), but in the end it was fun and I'm glad to be rereading these - I think I just need a break now...
