author:  Terry Pratchett 
description: Praise for Terry Pratchett<br /><br />One of the worlds most delightful writers. <br />  Cory Doctorow, <i>Boing Boing</i><br /> <br /> Some writers simply possess the Gift. No matter what they bring out . . . its sure to be compulsively readable. Thats certainly the case withTerry Pratchett. <br />  Michael Dirda, <i>The Washington Post Book World</i><br /> <br /> The great Terry Pratchett, whose wit is metaphysical, who creates an energetic and lively secondary world, who has a multifarious genius for strong parody . . . who deals with death with startling originality. He writes amazing sentences.<br />  A. S. Byatt, <i>The New York Times </i><br /> <i></i><br />Clever . . . insightful. . . . [Pratchetts] wry wit is as good as gold.<br />  Lylah M. Alphonse, <i>The Boston Globe</i><br /> <br /> One of the most consistently funny writers around; a master of the stealth simile, the time-delay pun, and the deflationary three-part list. <br />  Ben Aaronovitch,<i>The Guardian </i>(London)<br /><br />What Pratchett does is not just great, but unparalleled. In five hundred years, it wont be the Nobel laureates who are being studied. Its going to be this guy.<br />  Brandon Sanderson, Tor.com
