I thought that Reaper Man was one of Pratchetts best novels to date. Death is one of my favourite characters and I cannot fault the way the story puts the spotlight on Death without focusing too hard and spoiling the plot.

Basically, the storyline goes that Death is given a lifetimer (see Mort) and so decides to spend his remaining grains of sand working on a farm with a Miss Flitworth. It is here that he starts to learn emotions that he never knew existed and began to live a human life. However, in the meantime, all chaos breaks loose when Windle Poons dies in Ankh-Morpork.
