Being sixteen is always difficult, even more so when there's a Death in the family. After all, it's hard to grow up normally when Grandfather rides a white horse and wields a scythe.

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

Discworld is about to rock...

Deputising for DEATH was never going to be easy, not least when he has gone walkabout in search of the Meaning of Life - without even leaving a forwarding address. But for his granddaughter, Susan, it becomes even more difficult when she breaks one of the cardinal rules of the family business - don't get involved!

All around the Disc, crowds are shouting for Buddy Celyn and The Band With Rocks In. They are in the grip of a new and dangerous music and Buddy is under its thumb. It's alive, it changes people - and it won't fade away.

Grain by grain, Buddy's time is running out and Susan has to save him - it's not going to be easy when she looks more like the Tooth Fairy than the Grim Reaper...

Soul Music: The Illustrated Screenplay is the perfect accompaniment to the acclaimed Channel Four/Cosgrove Hall series of Terry Pratchett's bestselling novel and what's more it's got lots of pictures in (154 to be precise).

Revue de presse :

"'Pratchett lures classical themes and popular mythologies into the dark corners of his imagination, gets them drunk and makes them do things you wouldn't dream of doing with an Oxford don'" (Daily Mail)

"'Very clever madcap satire which has universal appeal. If you haven't tried him, this is a fun one to start with'" (Today)

"'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. Who writes amazing sentences'" (New York Times)

"'His spectacular inventiveness makes the Discworld series one of the perennial joys of modern fiction'" (Mail on Sunday)

"'Like Jonathan Swift, Pratchett uses his other world to hold up a distorting mirror to our own, and like Swift he is a satirist of enormous talent ... incredibly funny ... compulsively readable'" (The Times)
