Another element of the teeming horde that comprises Terry Pratchett’s Diskworld novels, The Truth would probably be grouped with the subset featuring Ankh-Morpork’s City Watch. That’s not entirely accurate, because the story really revolves around William de Worde’s newspaper, but the Watch is involved to a large degree.
I’m not entirely sure what to think about this book. The whole thing is very Pratchett, with plenty of sections that left me literally laughing out loud (sometimes to the concern of those around me). On the other hand, there were parts that I didn’t feel really worked, such as Mr. Tulip’s manner of cursing (“Too —ing right”). I’d say that, on the whole, the book’s satirical bent tended to interfere with the storytelling. It was good in pieces, but not necessarily in large chunks. Still, it’s quite funny. Go ahead and give it a read.
