I read Reaper Man right after Mort, and was a little confused about the apparent lack of continuity. Where is Mort during all of this?

However taken as a stand alone, it was a very good story about Death, who never seems too happy about having to do his Duty. Understandably.

This was my introduction to the Auditors, which objected to Death developing a "personality". This seems like a fair point, as much as I dislike agreeing with the Auditors. The follow up to this premise is interesting and entertaining.

I enjoyed the subplot of Windle Poons and the effects of an uncontrolled life force, which was integral to the overarching storyline, not to mention amusing. However most of the other Wizards and the snowglobe storyline felt too disconnected and random, merely a vehicle for puns and jokes.

Bill Door's story is engaging, touching and my favourite part of this book.
