Twelve-year old boys love him, but he himself is grown up. Pratchett can make you giggle helplessly and then grin grimly at the sharpness of his wit. His inventiveness - with people with plots, with things - is seemingly inexhaustible. 'Terry Pratchett is one of the great makers of what Auden called 'secondary worlds'. This darkness and concrete morality sets his work apart from imitators of his English Absurd school of comic fantasy.' * Guardian *
'With all the puns, strange names and quick-fire jokes about captive letters demanding to be delivered, it's easy to miss how cross about injustice Terry Pratchett can be. There's a moral toughness here, which is one of the reasons why Pratchett is never merely frivolous.' * Time Out * 'Like many of Pratchett's best comic novels, it is a book about redemption. Pratchett's joy in his creations, in jokes, puns, the idea of letters and language itself makes GOING POSTAL one of the best expressions of his unstoppable flow of comic invention.' * The Times *
'His world, increasingly subtle and thoughtful, has become as allegorical and satirical as a painting by Bosch.
