Summary: what would we do without death?
Review: for all you fans of discworld out there this is another great product. you get with the mapp of death's domain a text book which explains what is the meaning of every part in the domain. in the text book we can learn what are death thoughts about golf and about getting lost in a garden maze. if you love death as much as i do you have got to buy this product.

Summary: THERE ARE BETTER THINGS IN THE WORLD (...)
Review: This book/map, which is the fourth map from the Pratchett multiverse, is for the avid reader who has all the books by Terry Pratchett and is desperate enough for more material that he shells out twenty bucks to get more.

The writing is excellent, as always, but there are only 23 (quick count) pages of it. The rest of the product (except for the title pages etc.) consists of a large map following the same standard as the three other maps. The problem with it is that it doesn't enhance the reading of the novels in any way at all. The first two maps, Ankh-Morpork and, to a lesser degree, Discworld, added to the fun by letting the reader follow the protagonists' journeys while reading the novels. This map from the domain of one of Discworld's most amusing and easiest recognizable characters does no such thing. It is nice-looking but nothing more. It doesn't really tell me anything more about Discworld than that its author has no intention to starve.

What I really would wish is a collection of the text-bits from the maps together with Terry's excellent short stories in one book. That way we could avoid all the empty filling.

Ok, here's the full quote: Death: "THERE ARE BETTER THINGS IN THE WORLD THAN ALCOHOL, ALBERT"

Albert: "Oh, yes, sir. But alcohol sort of compensates for not getting them."
