Rob Wilkins (1)

Well written and a good read. Definitely not a critical literary biography. Reads more like a fan biography, and that's fine. Just leaves out a lot.

Hilarious to heartbreaking and so well written & read by Pratchett’s personal assistant. Reduced to tears by the end and the early onset dementia that robbed Terry of more time

Wilkins writes well, but this is a somewhat soulless book. It is a reasonable biography of Pratchett-the-writer, and nearly silent on Pratchett-the-person. Whether this is a deliberate choice isn't clear. Pratchett's spouse and offspring get some mention in the earlier parts of the book, but then somehow almost vanish for most of the second half.

Generally interesting, but I'm not sure that I would recommend it.
