Only he could take The Grim Reaper, and turn him into not-so-much a figure of fun, but use him to examine life and mortality and the nature of human existence.
I think there's five such books in which he takes a starring role in the entire Discworld series - those would be (in order) 'Mort', 'Reaper Man', this one, 'Hogfather' and 'Thief of Time'], with all but the first featuring the Death of Rats ("SQUEEK"), and with the latter three also featuring his grand-daughter Susan.
That, thus, makes this the first novel to do so, with plenty of puns and jokes around the music industry here as a new force comes into being on the Discworld: that of "Music with Rocks In".
For my money, this is top-tier Pratchett.
