The Truth

By Terry Pratchett. A Discworld novel.

I have a mixed relationship with Pratchett’s Discworld series; some books delight me, while others fall flat.

This one was good. It centers on Discworld's first newspaper, which has as much sensational gossip as actual news.

As a fantasy series, Discworld is brimming with all sorts of outlandish creations. Interestingly, the author occasionally points out that a particular fabrication has a real-world counterpart.

I also enjoyed the zombie obituaries, which humorously detailed their adventures since their deaths.
