About the book

Discover the gloriously inventive and funny fantasy novel from bestselling author Terry Pratchett, the third book in the Death series, part of the Discworld novels.

'Genius . . . deals with death with startling originality' New York Times

'Terry Pratchett at his best. Fantastic book' 5-star reader review

'This didn't feel like magic. It felt a lot older than that. It felt like music.'

Being sixteen is always difficult, but it's even more so when there's a Death in the family.

Susan hasn't exactly had a normal upbringing, with a skeletal grandfather who rides a white horse and wields a scythe.

When Death decides he needs a well-earned break, he leaves Susan to take over the family business. The only problem is, everyone mistakes her for the Tooth Fairy . . .

Well, not the only problem. There's a new, addictive music in Discworld. It's lawless. It changes people. It's got a beat and you can dance to it.

It's called Music With Rocks In. And it won't fade away . . .

Soul Music is the third book in the Death series, but you can read the Discworld novels in any order.

    ✨Leider nicht so mein Geschmack✨

    Schlecht ist Pratchett ja einfach nie. Aber dieser Roman ist einfach nichts für mich. Ich komme einfach nicht in die Story und empfinde sie auch als nicht besonders interessant. Möglicherweise liegt es am Sprecher, dessen Stimme tatsächlich überhaupt nicht mein Geschmack.

    Ein weiterer Roman in dem es sich um Tod dreht, beziehungsweise seine Enkelin Susan, welche mit einem mal die Aufgabe ihres Großvaters übernehmen muss, da dieser wieder einmal eine Krise hat und einfach nur vergessen möchte. Vollkommen überfordert und der felsenfesten Überzeugung das man mit einer solchen Macht Dinge ändern muss, gerät sie in ein Abenteuer das ganz Ankh Morpork verändert, da lebendige Musik über die Stadt rollt und alles und jeden mitreißt. Es war ein wirklich unterhaltsames Buch, welches ich sehr genossen habe. Ich kannte bereits den animierten Film, weshalb Passagen sich anfühlten, als hätte ich das Buch bereits gelesen, aber das störe mich nicht. Es war einfach eine schöne Geschichte.
