Over 1 million Discworld audiobooks sold – discover the extraordinary universe of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld like never before.

'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.

My Favorite of the New Releases

This is by far my favorite narrator of any of the newly produced Pratchett audiobooks. He performs great and distinct characters and really brings the story to life.

The story is also peak Pratchett satire, and a lot of it is just as relevant today as it was when it was written. I cannot recommend this highly enough.

A superior version of a great dis world novel

I am so happy with the new productions for this series! This is one of my favorite novels and this is such a great production that it’s made it even better.

Wonderful

It was a beautiful balance of story, humor, and voice acting. A tale so moving to motivate me to take the time to add this second sentence in order to leave a qualifying review beyond the 15 word minimum limit.

Engaging performance, awesome story!

An awesome story about the human condition, superbly performed by the narrators. Otto’s character was remarkably entertaining :-)

One of the best

I want to see this with Taiko Waititin playing Otto. Absolutely brilliant book and just hilarious.
