Book Reviews of The Truth
Book Review: ...is Out There
Summary: 5 Stars
Pratchett does it yet again with this, the 25th installment in the highly entertaining Discworld series. This time, it's the Times- the Ankh-Morpork Times. Yes, the Discworld's most famous (or perhaps infamous) city now has a newspaper. And of course, it contains nothing but the truth...This novel features many of the characters that Pratchett fans already know and love- the Watch, the wizards, Foul Ole Ron and Gaspode the Wonder Dog amongst others. Our hero, however, is a newcomer to the pages of the Discworld. William de Worde is a man with a vision (and a shed full of dwarfs) and he's determined to stick to his ideals- even when a cunning political plot to overthrow the Patrician threatens to overturn and trample him along with them.
Filled with merciless parody and wicked satire, Pratchett's work is both a cleverly constructed social commentary on the follies of our time and a rollicking good read. "The Truth" features not only the characteristic Pratchett humour but a tightly woven plot. These two elements combined raise this novel to among the best Discworld adventures so far.
