'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 listened to in any order but The Truth is a standalone novel.

Perfection

An utter amazing piece of writing that is more relevant than ever. Brilliantly performed

Great story

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

Loving having the gaps filled in.

This is the first time I am listening to the Industrial Revolution series and am love of the way it brings a new perspective on Ankh Morpork. It has taken a bit to get used to different narrators as Nigel Planer and Tony Robinson are who I am
Used to but I am enjoying the new crew too.

Voice acting to die for!

I've enjoyed this book since I first read it as a physical book, but the voice acting in this version really elevates it, he really gives it his all, and the voice of Death is *chef's kiss* Recommend even if you've read it before!

Another Discworld Classic

The book has everything you could want in a book. Great characters, compelling story, fantastic narrator and perfectly paced

Wonderful, but not Nigel Planar

This series is wonderful and very welcome. Some readers are better than others, but Peter Serafinowicz, and Bill Nighy are magnificent. But if you begin the amazing and heartwarming experience of listening to Terry Pratchett by hearing Nigel Planar read, there’s nothing quite like it. The humor that’s injected to every sentence is a continuous work of art. All that said, I am so happy for the current series.

One of the greatest fiction classics ever!

Unfortunately, the Stephen Briggs narration is as yet unavailable in America, but nothing can detract from this interesting and exciting work of fiction. with a intriguing plot and good philosophical standpoints, this book provides a hilarious yet thought-provoking read at the same time. following two stories at once, this book presents an interesting contrast between an honest, hardworking man, and vicous, devious criminals. what seems to be a generic story of politics and journalism, is in fact a deeply moral story, full of excitement, emotion, and political intrigue, as a newly established business competes with a corporate rival, while at the same time facing complete destruction, warding off attacks from hired grunts. highly recommended!

Acceptable performance of a great book

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.

Absolutely enchanting work and speaks volumes

Loved it. Narration was great. Terry Pratchett always knows just what to write for the times we live in

now a favorite book

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.
