"Imaginative, witty and consistent - as in consistently funny, consistently clever and consistently surprising in its twists and turnss - Thud! is everything that the 30th novel in a fantasy sequence ought to be, and more" SFX magazine "Pratchett too requires us to thinkWhenever I read his stories I find myself thinking that he is "grown up". He may write benign comedy but he knows how horribly complicated and exciting the Universe is" -- A.S. Byatt The Times "You hardly need to review Pratchett nowadays... you know you can rely on him to be wirtty and quietly wise, and his creations have taken on a life of their own... A series that seems to re-invent itself by natural evolution every time" Starburst "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
