'A lie can run round the world before the truth has got its boots on'

William de Worde is the accidental editor of the Discworld's first newspaper.

Now he must cope with the traditional perils of a journalist's life - people who want him dead, a recovering vampire with a suicidal fascination for flash photography, some more people who want him dead in a different way and, worst of all, the man who keeps begging him to publish pictures of his humorously shaped potatoes.

William just wants to get at THE TRUTH. Unfortunately, everyone else wants to get at William. And it's only the third edition...

The Discworld novels can be read in any order but The Truth is a standalone novel.

Critic reviews

The 25th Discworld novel
'Other writers are mining the rich seam of comic fantasy that Pratchett first unearthed, but what keeps Pratchett on top is - quite literally - the way he tells them.'
'One of the funniest English authors alive'

Terry Pratchet does a wonderful job teaching with satire. Every story is amazing and I have read them all.

Great story

The book is very entertaining but that is not news.
The performance is mostly good and at times it is great. Unfortunately, there are also some vocal choices that I personally find distracting. I have a hard time listening to any part that features Vetinari, Drumknott, or Nobby Nobbs.
These voices are not featured often so the overall performance is okay.

Acceptable performance of a great book

Absolutely enchanting work and speaks volumes

I ended up loving this book even though when it started I was disappointed that it was a one-off, not about one of the main groups of characters. It could be satire written yesterday, it so perfectly describes the Times we live in.

now a favorite book
