Review. The Last Hero, by Terry Pratchett. Ill. Josh Kirby.

What happens when you get old? What happens when you get old only because the world has changed too much? What happens when all the people that defined your era are dead? But for you, your gang of friends, and one last enemy?

You keep busy. Or you go out in style.

The writing is good, the illustrations are perfect. My only bitch is that the story wants to be a little longer...it feels like it was over-edited for length.

Nevertheless, this is a good book for anyone who's ever raised her fist (or other digits) to the powers that be.
