Death comes to us all. When he came to Mort, he offered him a job. After being assured that being dead was not compulsory, Mort accepted. However, he soon found that romantic longings did not mix easily with the responsibilities of being Death's apprentice...
My review:
A comical look at what it means to be human, the role of death in the world and how a job can become someone's life. As usual this discworld novel is full of wit and fun, as well as parodies of our own world. Extremly enjoyable!
