'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.

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.

Love It

I love everything about the whole series. All his books are perfection. The cast for the unabridged audio books are great

The Truths finest pair of Boots.

I love Rincewind, Nanny is my jam. I'll heat nothing against pyramids, and Reaper Man stands up to Nation itself.
But the Truth is special. it feels closer to the hart of Himself.
They did it justice.

Best narration ever!

Absolutely stunning narration for a spectacular story! I’m sad I’ve only got three hours left. I adore all of Terry Pratchett books; however, I felt more engaged like I was reading it, which is in large part, due to the seamless character narration and engaging storytelling style. It’s amazing what a professional voice actor can do.

My Review

Love almost all Terry Pratchett books, but the dog
reward fallout was the best. I had a little trouble with the British accent with June for dune and chew lip for tulip but that was rather minor.I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants an ing laugh.

Amazing how much more this means after 2016

I’m very familiar with the story but hadn’t read/listened to the for a long while. Time has given it more relevance than it had when it was first released
