Sam Vimes Is Forced to Take a Vacation on Discworld
I am one of Terry Pratchett’s biggest fans – well, maybe not technically his biggest fan since I’m only 5 feet tall but I’m definitely a fan in the truest meaning of the term. Any author who has sold over 45 million books and received countless awards has a lot more fans than just me, and very rightfully so. I have read every Terry Pratchett book published in the U.S., and always await the next one with great anticipation.
Snuff is Pratchett’s latest Discworld novel, the 39th Discworld novel to be more exact. Not to worry though. They can be read individually as well as in a series. Discworld is a very interesting flat world (like a disc – doh) and resides on the backs of 4 elephants, which stand together (very important) on the back of an enormous sea turtle, which swims throughout the universe. Works for me! It’s filled with every creature known to and suspected by mankind to hide in the bushes, all of which seem to have delightfully snarky senses of humor, or not, depending on which side of the proverbial bed they arose from on any particular day.
