It is only the minimal exterior faults described that prevents a slightly higher overall grading.Despite them,it really is still an exceptional,exemplary example for its cleanliness,brightness and lack of major detracting faults.Author's 11th Discworld novel and 2nd Death related novel                      Death  is missing - presumed . . . er . . . gone.Which leads to the kind of chaos you always get when an important public service is withdrawn.                                        Ghost and poltergeists fill up the Discworld. Dead Rights activist Reg Shoe - 'You Don't Have to Take This Lying Down' - suddenly has more work than he had ever dreamed of.And newly deceased wizard Windle Poons wakes up in his coffin to find that he has come back as a corpse.                                          But it's up to Windle and the members of Ankh-Morpork's rather unfrightening group of undead* to save the world for the living.                Meanwhile,on a little farm far,far away,a tall,dark stranger is turning out to be really good with a scythe.There's a harvest to be got in.And a different battle to be fought.          *Arthur Winklings,for example,became a vampire after being bitten by a lwayer.Schleppel the bogeyman would be better at his job if he wasn't agoraphobic and frightened of coming out of the closet.Amd Mr Ixolite is a banshee with a speech impediment,so instead of standing on the roof and screaming when there's a death in the house, he writes 'OooEeeOooEeeOoo' on a piece of paper and pushes it under the door.Author's 11th Discworld novel,and the 2nd Death novel.Reading order thus: 11th Discworld novel preceded by 'Moving Pictures',succeeded by 'Witches Abroad.
