Rezensionen

Imaginative, witty and consistent - as in consistently funny, consistently clever and consistently surprising in its twists and turns SFX magazine

"Pratchett's fantastic imagination and satirical wit are on full display." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Imgenious, brilliant and hilarious." - Washington Post

"A delight from beginning to end." - Fantasy & Science Fiction

"One of the darker Discworld tales, Thud! does not disappoint." - Sunday Express (London)

"Pratchett, ever inventive, offers up his usual fun and games with typography and footnotes, a full complement of parody, word-play and swift allusion. . . . But Thud! moves from a comedy of multi-culti Ankh-Morpork manners into a pungent exploration of prejudice and

dread, hypocrisy and rage. For all its magic carriage rides, technomancy and gloriously absurd transfigurations, on Discworld, the death of innocents (and innocence) is never cause for laughter." - New York Newsday

"As always, Pratchett's latest Discworld yarn is funny, fast-paced, the kind of satire that explores serious issues while making readers love it." - Booklist

"Funny, poignant, complicated and character-driven." - Locus

"The usual quick-moving, amusing and entertaining Pratchett tale. Pratchett has never shied away from using his settings and characters to offer commentary on the world, and [THUD!] is no different . . . . [Pratchett]'s his usual brilliant self here -- sarcastic, ironic, and just laugh-out-loud funny." - Associated Press
