Favourite Discworld character?

I’d have to say for me it’s a tie between Death and Moist Von Lipwig.

I would definitely have to say Death! He is hilarious and wonderful.

Another great Discworld story
Terry Pratchett does it again with yet another great Discworld novel. Although the main protagonist Esk can be a little grating at times, Equal Rites introduces a fantastic character in Granny Weatherwax and tells an age old familiar story of men versus women, with a fantasy spin.

Graphic adaptation of on eof my favourite Discworld books, which is set eras before the 'main' Discworld stories themselves.

I have to be honest: I didn't even know there was this adapatation of the story until I came across it in a local bookstory: having read it, I think I prefer this over the only other graphical take on the stories I had encountered before ([b:The Discworld Graphic Novels: The Colour of Magic & The Light Fantastic|2728900|The Discworld Graphic Novels The Colour of Magic & The Light Fantastic|Terry Pratchett|https://d2arxad8u2l0g7.cloudfront.net/books/1348432296s/2728900.jpg|2754534]) in that the artwork seems more vibrant, more what I would imagine the characters to be like.

Your usual good Discworld story
I love the Discworld novels however if I’m being honest, I prefer the non-standalone series such as the City Guard, Death or the Moist Von Lipwig. Small Gods is one of the few standalone stories in the Discworld catalogue and whilst a Discworld novel is always good, this isn’t one of my favourites.

Brutha is a likeable main character but not lovable. Not because he’s a little bit dim but just because there’s not much to him. Om as the tortoise is rather funny, and the rest of the characters in this are good but not particularly memorable. The story itself is obviously a tongue in cheek take on religion and is funny in parts, although sadly considering when it was written maybe isn’t quite as relevant as it could be today. Overall it’s just a well written entertaining Discworld story.

A brilliant Discworld Book
This is a brilliant Discworld book written in typical Pratchett style. Death is a fantastic character, always one of my favourites, and this is full of humour relating to him. It's always good when a book can make you laugh out loud.
My only criticisms would be that Princess Keli is a slightly irritating character and the book itself just didn't seem long enough - I wanted more!
Highly recommended for anyone wanting to dip their toes into the Discworld waters.
