	More a way of life.... \| Opinion
		But even more prominent for the most part are the History Monk Lu Tze and his apprentice Lobsang Ludd, and this represents sound judgment on Pratchett's part, because the Death 'family', while being the most interesting and certainly intriguing characters among his regular cast, are inevitably a little one-note.
		The truth of Lobsang's origin is pretty obvious, but as Pratchett never tries to hide it, that's hardly a criticism The plot, too, is one of those which serves the essentially all-powerful nature of its protagonists, because this really is a threat to everything.
		Pratchett has, by the regularity of his output, become an easy target for the label 'hack', but what those who dismiss him as such fail to give credit for is how clever these books are.

	Refracted Light: Thief of Time
		Death is concerned, and so he dispatches his adopted granddaughter Susan Sto Helit to investigate the problem.
		The History Monks (whose job is "to see that tomorrow happens at all") have also noticed that something is amiss, so the famous sweeper Lu Tze sets out to set things right, bringing along his strangely gifted new apprentice Lobsang Ludd.
		The characters are all colorful; they're not deep, but a book of this type doesn't really demand such.

		Comment From The Artist: Taiknecelly, it's supposed to stick out like a dandelion with a fl streak, but since lobsang there has created a tornado-in-a-stationary-cupboard (that's where they are) it is everywhere.
		Lobsang was the last thing I did and I was pretty sick of colouring in by then.

	A Blithe Spirit - Books - The Thief Of Time by Terry Pratchett
		Armed with his book of Morporkian phrases, 'The Way of The Washerwoman, Mrs Cosmopilite' he guides his apprentice Lobsang to his destiny.
		The fact that the Abbot is currently at the start of his latest incarnation, and spends a great deal of time waving a rattle and demanding bizzkit's from his acolytes should not be overlooked.
		Into this environment is dropped Lobsang; a novice that can't be taught, and who already demonstrates a disturbing ability where time is concerned.

	Review - Thief of Time by Terry Pratchett
		Terry has always appealed to my sense of humour (Warped!!!!!!!!) and this book is one of his better ones (but not his best) it involves the history monks trying to prevent time from being stopped by the construction of the perfect clock.
		It is witty in places and has Terry's own twisted view of humanity that is a breath of fresh air to all us cynics out there.
		There is a lovely bit where Lu-Tze is talking to Lobsang, and he says that he will not call (Lobsang) him after a small insect if Lobsang will not address him as "Master".

		Lobsang Ludd, you are thoughtless and impulsive and deserve to die a stupid and pointless death."

		And on the Discworld that is the job of the Monks of History, who store it and pump it from the places where it's wasted (like underwater - how much time does a codfish need?) to places like cities, where there's never enough of it.
		But the construction of the world's first truly accurate clock starts a race against, well, time for Lu Tze and his apprentice Lobsang Ludd.
		And that will be only the start of everyone's problems.

	Terry Pratchett: Thief of Time - an infinity plus review
		Meanwhile, on the other side of the Discworld in what one might consider to be the high mountains of Tibet, the Monks of History are becoming aware of what is going on.
		Among their number, humblest but reputedly most powerful and sagest of them all, is Lu-Tze; to Lu-Tze has just been apprenticed the mysterious Ankh-Morpork orphan Lobsang Ludd, who possesses in raw form the ability to locally manipulate time -- an ability he has put to use by becoming an undetectable petty thief.
		Although he is duty-bound to organize the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse -- Five, if you count Ronnie, the one who left the group before it made it big -- for their final Ride, he entrusts his granddaughter Susan (one of Pratchett's finest character creations) with a similar quest.

	Thief of Time by Terry Pratchett - Official sffworld.com review
		For various reasons not everybody is quite happy with this, it kind of messed up history the last time someone tried and the Monks of History had a hard time patching everything together afterwards.
		To stop them Death recruits his granddaughter, Susan, and also working to stop them are History Monk Lu-Tze and his apprentice Lobsang Ludd.
		While all this is happening Death is also trying to rally the Horsemen to ride out for the Apocalypse, a task easier said than done...

	BookLoons Reviews - Thief of Time by Terry Pratchett
		The story is about the making of the world's first truly accurate clock, after which of course there will be no more need for Time - or anything else much.
		Lu Tze, one of the Monks of History, races to prevent this with the help of Lobsang Ludd, a very junior monk with hidden talents and a mysterious connection with the clockmaker, Jeremy Clockson.
		As usual the book is crammed full of wit, humour and playfulness, but the wit is more subtle perhaps than the author's usual fare.

	Book Review on: Thief Of Time by Terry Pratchett
		Meanwhile, time is going up the proverbial creek and it's up to Lu Tze (a sweeper and keeper of special ways) and his apprentice, Lobsang Ludd, to try and straighten things out.
		Lobsang is one strange person who's got an unnatural ability in stopping time, a trick of the Monks of Time, and some of their other secret teachings.
		But he's not feeling himself, so there could still be trouble ahead.

		Death takes over for the Hogfather in 'Hogfather (Discworld, Book 20)', the Discworld equivalent of Santa Claus, while Susan goes looking for the real (and kidnapped) Hogfather.
		'Thief of Time' technically belongs in this category, but it is less about Susan and Death than it is about a couple of new characters, Lu Tze and his student Lobsang Ludd.
		The auditors also play a prominent role, and we finally get to see what they are all about.
